Question

read the following paragraph
excerpt from \how prepared are students for college-level reading? applying a lexile-based approach.\
despite recent national- and state-level legislative initiatives focusing on postsecondary success and an increasing emphasis on educational attainment to successfully enter the job market, high rates of enrollment in remedial college courses indicate that many students are graduating from high school unprepared for college-level work (strong american schools 2008, terry 2007).
based on the context clues, what does the word
emedial\ mean?
advanced
corrective
high-level
superior

Explanation:

The context says students are graduating from high school unprepared for college - level work, and they enroll in "remedial" college courses. "Advanced", "High - level", and "Superior" imply a high or advanced level of work, which doesn't fit with students being unprepared. "Corrective" makes sense as these courses would be to correct the lack of preparation, helping students get to the level needed for college work.

Answer:

B. Corrective
