A recent survey of students accepted to prestigious colleges revealed that students from Nevada were admitted with a mean high school grade point average (GPA) of 92.4. Students accepted from California averaged a 96.2 GPA. The father of a family living in California used this information to conclude that the family should move to Nevada so that his son, an excellent student, would have a better chance of getting into a prestigious college than if they remained in California.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the family’s conclusion?
A. The curriculum in Nevada has more requirements and is far more academically demanding than that in California.
B. Both California and Nevada use a system of weighting that gives more numerical weight to honors and AP courses.
C. The number of students enrolled in AP courses in most California high schools far exceeds the number enrolled in most Nevada high schools.
D. Many California students enter a tuition-free two-year or four-year program in the University of California system.
E. In an attempt to increase national diversity, many prestigious colleges make a concerted effort to admit students from all 50 states.

A. The curriculum in Nevada has more requirements and is far more academically demanding than that in California.
possible reason why students with lower gpa from Nevada are getting selected.Moving to Nevada would present same competition as going on in California .hold on to it
B. Both California and Nevada use a system of weighting that gives more numerical weight to honors and AP courses.
if the weightage is same in both states,must be different factor.Not helpful in answering
C. The number of students enrolled in AP courses in most California high schools far exceeds the number enrolled in most Nevada high schools.
number of enrollments are out of focus.
D. Many California students enter a tuition-free two-year or four-year program in the University of California system.
Out of focus
E. In an attempt to increase national diversity, many prestigious colleges make a concerted effort to admit students from all 50 states.
This would give evrery state same chance.Not helpful
IMO A is the answer as it weakens the argument by presenting the fact that explains why Nevada students with lower gpa and means moving to Nevada isn't a sound option
