Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the first column, points 1-5 are listed in the order of the cost of tuition, lack of housing, class size, type of teacher, and student age range. In the second column, points 4 and 5 are already swapped, so we know that option A is incorrect. Option B swaps points 1 and 5, which is also incorrect. Option C is the only one that matches the order of the first column: cost of tuition, lack of housing, small classes, professors as teachers, and wide age range of students. Option C is the correct answer as the points in the second column match those of the first column in the following order:
1. thousands of dollars for each semester's tuition
2. classes often contain hundreds of students
3. hundreds of dollars for each semester's tuition
4. small classes
5. students mostly in their teens and twenties. 
Option A and B are incorrect because the points in the second column do not match those of the first column in the correct order. Option B is also incorrect because it does not provide an answer for the missing detail in the second column.
