During the last several years, students at Jasper County’s public high schools have been performing worse at the standardized college-entrance exams than their peers at Nesbit County’s public high Schools, a result caused by adoption of the modern education system at Nesbit County's schools. In recent years, more and more Jasper County residents have been enrolling their children in private high schools, where the teacher-to-student ratio is traditionally higher than that in public schools, and enrollment in Jasper County’s public high schools has dwindled as a result.
For the residents of Jasper County whose children go to the county’s public schools, which of the following options would most likely ensure an improved performance of their children in standardized college-entrance exams, only on the basis of the information given in the passage?
A. Keep their children enrolled in Jasper County’s public schools.
B. Stay in Jasper County and enroll their child in a private school.
C. Provide home schooling for their child rather than enrolling the child in either a public or private school.
D. Move away from Jasper County and enroll their child in a private school.
E. Move to Nesbit County and enroll their child in that county’s public schools.

It is stated in the passage that the better performance of students in Nesbit's public school than those in Jasper’s is attributed to the “adoption of the modern education system at Nesbit County's schools”. The argument for enrolling a child in a private school rather than a public school is weak because it depends on the additional, unsubstantiated assumption that a high teacher-to-student ratio results in a better performance in standardized college-entrance exams - the right option must be selected “only on the basis of the information given in the passage”.
A. Not changing the current school is not likely to improve the performance. One may argue that since the number of students in Jasper’s public schools has been decreasing, it is likely that the teacher-to-student ratio has been rising. However in the passage, the better performance is attributed to adoption of the modern education system, not to the high teacher-to-.student ratio.
B. In the passage, better performance is attributed to the adoption of the modern education system, not to the high teacher-to-.student ratio (in private schools).
C. In the passage nothing has been mentioned about homeschooling. It has not been stated whether homeschooling causes a better performance at the standardized college-entrance exams.
D. In the passage, better performance is attributed to the adoption of the modern education system, not to the high teacher-to-.student ratio (in private schools).
E. CORRECTThe passage conclusively states that students of Nesbit’s public schools perform better than those of Jasper County’s because of adoption of the modern education system. Therefore enrolling the children in Nesbit county’s public school instead of Jasper county’s entails likelihood of improved performance of these children.
