Solution

The best explanation supported by the data shared would be "losses in life expectancy varied according to ethnicity". This is because the pandemic has disproportionately affected different ethnic groups in the United States, with higher mortality rates observed among Black, Hispanic, and Native American populations. This disparity could be due to a variety of factors, including socioeconomic status, access to healthcare, and prevalence of pre-existing conditions. Therefore, the variation in life expectancy losses according to ethnicity could explain why the United States did worse than other similar countries during the pandemic.
