(Choice A, Incorrect) there were 49 guilds in Bordeaux but 72 guilds in Lyon despite the two cities having nearly equal numbers of inhabitants.
INCORRECT
there were 49 guilds in Bordeaux but 72 guilds in Lyon despite the two cities having nearly equal numbers of inhabitants.
This choice misreads the table. Bordeaux had 80,000 inhabitants, according to the table, while Lyon had 143,000, so it isn’t correct to say that they had “nearly equal numbers of inhabitants”. Lyon had almost twice as many inhabitants!
(Choice B) Paris had 133 guilds and 600,000 inhabitants, or one guild for every 4,511 inhabitants.
B
Paris had 133 guilds and 600,000 inhabitants, or one guild for every 4,511 inhabitants.
(Choice C) there was one guild for every 661 inhabitants in Rouen but one guild for every 4,511 inhabitants in Paris.
C
there was one guild for every 661 inhabitants in Rouen but one guild for every 4,511 inhabitants in Paris.
(Choice D) Lyon had far fewer inhabitants than Paris did but had many more guilds.
D
Lyon had far fewer inhabitants than Paris did but had many more guilds.

Answer 1

(D) Lyon had far fewer inhabitants than Paris did but had many more guilds.

This effectively uses data from the table by noting the population difference between Lyon and Paris, as well as the difference in the number of guilds each city had.
