While Alaska, one of the 50 states in the United States, has vaccinated (using a single-dose vaccine) 16 percent of its population, the highest rate in the country, the state ranks 46th in vaccine administration to its citizens, having used only 69 percent of its supply.
Which of the following must be true if the statement above is true?
A) There are states that have received more vaccines than has Alaska.
B) Alaska has the highest rate of vaccination amongst all the states in the United States for senior citizens (those above the age of 60).
C) Fewer people live in Alaska than do in the average state in the United States.
D) Had Alaska used a greater proportion of its vaccine supply, it would have increased its lead over other states in the proportion of its population that is vaccinated.
E) Alaska received more vaccines than did most other states.

Question states that Alaska has vaccinated 16% of its population. This rate is highest among all 50 states. However, it has used 69% of its supply, 46th in ranking. Since this is an inference question, there isn't much to think about. Go to answer choices:
A. There are states that have received more vaccines than has Alaska.
[b]Incorrect[/b] : We are only told % of vaccines and that too only for Alaska. There is no way this can be inferred.
B) Alaska has the highest rate of vaccination amongst all the states in the United States for senior citizens (those above the age of 60).
[b]Incorrect[/b] : We are not given information about rate of vaccination above the age of 60. This choice may or may not be true.
C) Fewer people live in Alaska than do in the average state in the United States.
[b]Incorrect[/b] : We are not given enough information about this. We are only given % of population of Alaska. For e.g. there may be 10m people living in Alaska with 1.6m vaccinated while average US state would have 5m population with 0.5m (10% of population) vaccinated. The question statements would still hold true in such a case. This choice may or may not be true
D) Had Alaska used a greater proportion of its vaccine supply, it would have increased its lead over other states in the proportion of its population that is vaccinated.
Correct : If by using 69% of its supply, Alaska is able to vaccinate 16% of its population, the highest rate in US, by using more than 69% of its supply, it would be able to administer more than 16% of its population. Since its already 1st, such a case would result in increased lead over other states. Note that we are not required to determine by how much. A mere 0.1% increase in lead would also hold this statement true.
E) Alaska received more vaccines than did most other states.
[b]Incorrect[/b] : There is no way this can be inferred. We are only told about % of supply.

RIGHT ANSWER A:
1) Please note that the Question stem states:
Which of them MUST BE TRUE: Requiring this question to be an Assumption Question.
2) Taking the above into consideration, the statement is not a must be true statement. Visualise a situation that the percentage utilisation increases. But the Gap b/w Alaska and the 45th country is soo large that even this increase does not suffice. It could bring it closer to, or MAYBE even surpass, but it is not a MUST BE TRUE STATEMENT.
3) Number of Vaccinated = TOTAL Vaccine Supplied x Percentage of vaccine Utilised (%age)
Taking that into consideration,
For the TOTAL NUMBER TO BE HIGHEST (GIVEN),
Given that: %age of Vaccine utilised is Lower than most other states (line stating: state ranks 46th in administration), the TOTAL VACCINES SUPPLIED should be higher.
Thus,
ANSWER A is right.
