The proportion of students attending community colleges has increased dramatically in the past two years. Lakemore Community College, hoping to attract some of these students, has decided to build a larger parking lot and hire several new professors, while maintaining its already excellent communication with local high school college counselors.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest evidence in support of the contention that Lakemore's plan to increase its enrollment is flawed?

1) Although Lakemore has recently expanded its program to include fine arts and computer science, the percentage of community college students who choose to enroll at Lakemore has decreased over the last two years.

2)Students who were graduated from Lakemore in the past two years have had trouble finding jobs.

3)The relationship between Lakemore and local high school counselors has been responsible for the decision of many students to attend Lakemore.

4)Other community colleges in the area have better developed remedial programs to help students graduate on time.

5)Despite having better facilities than other community colleges in the area, Lakemore has had declines in enrollment in the past two years.
