The proportion of women among students enrolled in higher education programs
has increased over the past decades. This is partly shown by the fact that in 1959,
only 11 percent of the women between twenty and twenty-one were enrolled in
college, while in 1981, 30 percent of the women between twenty and twenty-one
were enrolled in college.
To evaluate the argument above, it would be most useful to compare 1959 and
1981 with regard to which of the following characteristics?
(A) The percentage of women between twenty and twenty-one who were not
enrolled in college
(B) The percentage of women between twenty and twenty-five who graduated
from college
(C) The percentage of women who, after attending college, entered highly paid
professions
(D) The percentage of men between twenty and twenty-one who were enrolled in
college
(E) The percentage of men who graduated from high school
I was able to get to the answer by POE. But I am not sure why is that correct?
Thanks
