(A) college is one of many places to get trained for a job. No. Mark was more specific than that.
(B) decent jobs are obtained only by persons who have gone to college. Incorrect as well.
(C) wanting to get a decent job is the only reason for going to college. This is the right meaning of Mark's statement.
(D) training for decent jobs is available only at colleges. Opposite
(E) all people who want decent jobs go to college. Generalization. Also, the word 'all' is a bit strong.
