Public schools have voiced their opposition to state legislation that would mandate the teaching of a second language in middle school. The public schools’ opposition is surprising, as the legislation applies primarily to private schools that receive any form of public assistance and does not affect public schools.
Which of the following, if true, would best explain the opposition of public schools to the legislation?
A. Under the current law, public schools are only required to teach a second language in high school.
B. The majority of students from immigrant backgrounds attend public schools and these students are generally more likely to be bilingual.
C. The exact number of public schools that do not currently teach a second language in middle school and will be exempt from the legislation is unknown.
D. Some counties have their own requirements regarding language education – in some cases, considerably more expansive than the requirements mandated by the state legislation.
E. To attract students, public schools must match the educational offerings of private schools, and private schools are not exempt from the proposed legislation.

Public schools is opposing a state legislation that mandates teaching second language in middle schools.
The opposition seems surprising as it applies to majority of private schools that too those receiving public assistance. And public schools are not affected.
A. Under the current law, public schools are only required to teach a second language in high school.
This speaks about high school but the passage speaks about middle school. Hence, wrong.
B. The majority of students from immigrant backgrounds attend public schools and these students are generally more likely to be bilingual.
If, majority of immigrant background students attending public schools are bilingual . Then, Public schools doesn’t have a valid, ground for protesting. This option contradicts the fact given in the passage. Hence, wrong.
C. The exact number of public schools that do not currently teach a second language in middle school and will be exempt from the legislation is unknown.
Doesn’t mention about any subgroups of public schools, which teach or which do not teach the second language in middle school. Moreover, all public schools are opposing the legislation. Hence, wrong.
D. Some counties have their own requirements regarding language education – in some cases, considerably more expansive than the requirements mandated by the state legislation.
The passage mentions the place to the whole state, and not to specific county. This option seems irrelevant as it doesn’t speak about public schools , hence wrong.
E. To attract students, public schools must match the educational offerings of private schools, and private schools are not exempt from the proposed legislation.
This is the correct answer. Even though, the legislation is applicable to the private schools rather than public school. This option clearly explains why public schools protest against the legislation, as they need to match or mirror the education offerings of private schools.

Option E perfectly reasons out this form of opposition that states that those public schools to stay relevant would have to go toe to toe with private schools and hence there could be a reason why these public schools are voicing out against the mandate of second language in public schools.
