For-profit colleges serve far fewer students than either public or private non-profit colleges. At the same time, relative to non-profit colleges, for-profit colleges draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid, such as tuition grants and guaranteed loans, for their students. It must be true, then, that for-profit colleges enroll a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged students than do non-profit colleges.

The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions?

A] Public non-profit colleges and private non-profit colleges enroll a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged students.

B] For-profit colleges and private non-profit colleges enroll a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged students.

C] The number of students receiving federal and state financial aid at for-profit colleges is greater than the number of students receiving federal and state financial aid at non-profit colleges.

D] For-Profit colleges are of similar educational quality as non-profit colleges.

E] The majority of students at for-profit colleges do not default on repayment of their loans after they complete college.


The OA is B.


I thought the answer was E. Clearly what is wrong with the option E.

If you negate option E then you find the conclusion to get affected....\

Options B and E are both good answers...

Underneath is how I tackle the question, but it took me nearly 3 minutes to complete:
Premises: For-profit colleges have total different share of fin aid compared to non-profit colleges
Conclusion: For-profit colleges enroll a greater proportion of Fin disadv students
Assumption: more share of fin aid -> more fin disadv students
(A) This doesn't provide information to compared non-profit and for-profit -> eliminated
(B) This is the answer: for instant, For-profit colleges serve 2000 students, non-profit ones serve 20000 students, even the NUMBER of financially disadvantaged students in non-profit = for-profit, the proportion of fin disadv students in for-profit is greater than that in non-profit
(C) This repeats the premise "At the same time, relative to non-profit colleges, for-profit colleges draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid, such as tuition grants and guaranteed loans, for their students" -> eliminated
(D) Out of scope. No educational quality was discussed in the paragraph
(E) This assumption doesn't help tackle the Conclusion. For instant, 10% of 1000 is bigger than 90% of 100. -> eliminated

Could you guide me a more time saver way ?
