scholarship

by kushal.adhia » Fri Oct 22, 2010 3:18 am
A recent university study indicates that students who receive full scholarships tend to maintain higher grade point averages than do students who must take out loans or work to finance school. The survey concluded that scholarships enable students to achieve high grade point averages by alleviating the stress related to financial concerns and freeing up students' time to study more.

The study's conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions?

A. Students who take out loans maintain higher grade point averages than those who work to finance school.

B. Finance - related stress affects student performance in a manner similar to that of restricted study time.

C. Students who must work to pay for their studies cannot maintain high grade point averages.

D. High grade point averages were not the primary criterion upon which the scholarship awards were based.

E. Controlling stress levels is less important to student performance than is intensive studying.


OA is D

some help please..

2 types of students:
1. Scholarship -- Higher grades
2. Loan or Work -- Not Higher Grade

Conclusion: Stress alleviation helps students

The logical Gap is there should not be any criteria that will help students get Scholarship. [Or more precisely we can say if a student gets Scholarship he gets Higher Grades as his financial stresses go away.]

Only D cites the same.

You can see Scholarship caused Higher Grades,So Not higher Grades cause Scholarship.
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it
