To accurately determine which statement is most likely true based on the table, we would need to analyze the data regarding the populations and population densities of Johannesburg and Rome. Since I can't see the specific details in the screenshot you've mentioned, here’s how you can evaluate the statements:

  1. Johannesburg has a population that lives closer together.

    • This statement suggests that Johannesburg's population density is high. You'd need to see if Johannesburg has a high population density relative to Rome.
  2. Rome has a larger population and a higher population density than Johannesburg.

    • Check the population numbers and the density figures. If Rome has both a larger population and a higher density, this statement would be true.
  3. Johannesburg has a smaller population and lower population density than Rome.

    • Similar to the previous statement, you'd need to confirm if Johannesburg indeed has both a smaller population and lower density compared to Rome.
  4. Rome has a smaller population but higher population density than Johannesburg.

    • This would contradict the previous two statements if either Rome's population is greater or their densities are comparable.

If you compare the populations and densities of both cities, one of the statements will become evidently true. If you can share the key figures from the table (population counts and density figures), I'd be more than happy to assist further in assessing which statement is correct.
