Education Secretary: Too many adults lack sufficient skills for job advancement because of the cost of higher education. Businesses should partner with educators to create curricula that are tailored to the needs of these people, thus increasing the likelihood that the cost of enrollment will be a safe investment.

Union Leader: What good is altering the curricula if students simply do not have the funds to enroll or the time to attend? What we need are more generous educational grants targeted to working adults, and more flexible work hours for working students.

Both the education secretary and the union leader make the point that

A. the cost of higher education for many adults is prohibitively high

B. many adult students do not have the time to attend courses in higher education

C. the cost of higher education is unfairly high

D. many adult students will not attend classes in higher education unless they are convinced that doing so will be a good investment.

E. the current curricula in most higher education institutions is not properly focused on teaching the skills that are necessary for job advancement.


VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The education secretary, in the first sentence, says that the cost of higher education is a problem for many adults. The union leader makes the point that students don’t have the funds for higher education. Thus they both agree that the cost is prohibitively high.

(B) Only the union leader makes this point.

(C) Neither person actually says that the cost is unfair.

(D) This point is suggested only by the education secretary.

(E) This point is made only by the education secretary.
