Question

read lolas argument that post-secondary degrees are beneficial.
it seems like every high school student is expected to further their education after high school. some teenagers resent the pressure this expectation puts on them. but we teens have to be realistic. a college degree or skilled trade certificate is necessary in todays world.
75% of new jobs today require job applicants to have a college degree. many jobs require specific skills acquired through courses geared to that profession. of course, not every job requires the exact subject matter you learned at college. but employers are looking for people with perseverance, analytical skills, and the ability to communicate. those are the things you will learn during your years at college or in an apprenticeship.

Explanation:

1. For option B: The text states "75% of new jobs today require job applicants to have a college degree" and also mentions that many jobs need specific skills from professional - geared courses, which supports that employers require a college degree or skilled trade certificate for most jobs.
2. For option E: The text says "employers are looking for people with perseverance, analytical skills, and the ability to communicate. Those are the things you will learn during your years at college or in an apprenticeship", which shows employers want skills and traits acquired in post - secondary settings.

Option A is a claim, not evidence. Option C is about the expectation on high - school students, not evidence for the benefit of post - secondary degrees. Option D is about teenagers' resentment, not evidence for the benefit.

Answer:

B. Employers require a college degree or skilled trade certificate for most jobs.
E. Employers want new hires to have skills and traits acquired in a post - secondary setting.
