State colleges have lower tuitions than do private colleges because many of their operating costs are covered by federal and state funds.

Which of the following inferences is best supported by the statement made above?

A. Private colleges have higher operating costs than do state colleges.

B. Many more people matriculate at state colleges than do at
private colleges.

C. Tuition fees and operating costs are directly related.

D. the cost of attending state college is always more than the cost of attending private college.

E. If private colleges are to lower their tuitions, they must receive outside support.


I narrowed down to C and E, but selected E which was wrong. OA is C.

I think E has must (which is too extreme)..but can anyone tell why C is correct, since the premise is tuition fees is lower for state colleges because their operating costs are covered by funds. But C states a direct relation between Tuition fees and operating costs.

May be "Tuition fees and operating costs are related" would have been a better choice, but even with "directly" C is the best option available.

E : Private colleges can reduce tution fees by other means also, by reducing operating cost........

I do agree with you, but somehow I missed the point when I was reading the question. Also, the answer has to be from the given choices, doesn't matter if it is the correct one, it should be less wrong (if this makes sense)...than others...

Only C can be inferred from this passage
