In 2001, a local high school implemented a new program designed to reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy. The program, however, failed to produce the desired result . If the program had been successful, the dropout rate for female students would not have increased substantially in 2001
The argument in the passage would be most seriously weakened if it were true that
-> the number of female students in the school has remained constant for the past decade.
-> nationwide,the teen pregnancy rate and the female high sxhool dropout rate both increased significantly in 2001.
-> some female students who dropped out were pregnant at the home.
-> many female high school dropouts said that poor economic conditions forced them to leave school and find jobs.
-> the scholl also implemented a program designed to reduce the incident of drug use among teenagers in 2001.
Why Choice c can't be the answer .
