Passage Summary: There are many ways to tell if a country's economy is healthy, and several countries with relatively small populations are doing just fine economically.

Reasoning: Economic viability is measured by output, unemployment, and inflation; several small-population countries currently have viable economies.

Analysis: We are looking for a statement that is highly likely to be true based on the provided facts. The stimulus explicitly lists several countries with small populations that have viable economies, which directly supports the idea that a large population is not a requirement for economic health. When evaluating the options, avoid any choices that make broad claims about why these economies are viable or that suggest population size is the most important factor. We are simply looking for a synthesis of the facts already on the table.
