The Grade 12 students of High School 101 have performed with incredible consistency over the past five years. During each of those years, boys have obtained marks, on average, of 75 percent in science, and been offered 90 percent of the scholarships offered at the school. The girls have obtained marks, on average, of 70 percent in science, and received the balance of scholarships offered at the school.
Which of the following can be correctly concluded regarding the past five years from the passage above?
A The average marks scored by boys and girls in science have remained fairly consistent.
B The teaching of science at High School 101 has remained unchanged.
C Highly effective science tutorials were attended by more girls than boys at High School 101.
D The girls have received far fewer scholarships than the boys, given their similar scores.
E The boys of High School 101 have faced stiffer competition for scholarships than the girls have encountered.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
This is a supply the conclusion question.
Identify the premises of the argument. At High School 101, boys have obtained marks, on average, of 75 percent in science, and been awarded 90 percent of the scholarships offered at the school (first premise). Girls have obtained marks, on average, of 70 percent in science, and received the balance of scholarships offered at the school (second premise).
Assuming that the premises are true, is there an obvious conclusion that can be drawn from the premises? In this example, one conclusion that could be reached is that at High School 101, boys receive more of the scholarships offered at the school than girls do.
Eliminate answer choices that do not deal with both premises. Choice A simply confirms the idea in the first premise, the marks have remained consistent since they have been the same for the past five years. Choice B is about a method of teaching, it is not about marks, or how scholarships are distributed, and is easily eliminated. Choices C and E do not deal with the premises at all, they do not provide a conclusion for both premises. Only choice D draws a conclusion from both premises, that the girls have received far fewer scholarships than the boys, given their similar scores

Hello Bunuel,
Not a very good answer since we dont know the amount of each scholarship for boys and girls so we can not comment on that.
