Difficulty—

On the basis of a decrease in the college-age population, many colleges now anticipate increasingly smaller freshman classes each year. Surprised by a 40 percent increase in qualified applicants over the previous year, however, administrators at Nice College now plan to hire more faculty for courses taken by all freshmen.

Which of the following statements about Nice College's current qualified applicants, if true, would strongly suggest that the administrators' plan is flawed?


(A) A substantially higher percentage than usual plan to study for advanced degrees after graduation from college.

(B) According to their applications, their level of participation in extracurricular activities and varsity sports is unusually high.

(C) According to their applications, none of them lives in a foreign country.

(D) A substantially lower percentage than usual rate Nice College as their first choice among the colleges to which they are applying.

(E) A substantially lower percentage than usual list mathematics as their intended major.

OA D

We need to find what would suggest that there is a flaw in the administrator's plan.
Premise:
-There is a decrease in the college-age population.
-Smaller freshman classes are now anticipated by many colleges

Explanation: There was an increase in the population of freshman in colleges that many colleges began to expect smaller freshman classes each year.
Then, there was a 40% increase in qualified applicants of the previous year, and Nice College plans to create more facilities to accommodate them.

Option A - Incorrect
This does not show any flaw in the administrator's plan. In fact, it shows the need for the administrator's plan.

Option B - Incorrect
The argument is not concerned with details like extracurricular activities that are included in the application.

Option C - Incorrect
This is outside the scope of the argument.

Option D - Correct
This flaws the plan to create more facilities for freshmen, because if true that lower percentage of the applicants' rate Nice College as their second choice, then it means that greater part of the applicants rate it as their second choice and might not attend the school.

Option E - Incorrect
We are not concerned about the subjects or course these applicants intend to major on.
