Question

analyzing the purpose of grants
unlike loans, most grants are free money for college fees and do not have to be repaid. grants dont just come from the federal government—they are widely available from different sources. students might apply for and receive grants from their state government, local organizations, or even the college they plan to attend.
based on the reading, which statement about grants is correct?

• grants come from a variety of sources
• grants are low - interest federal loans
• grants are free money and do not need to be repaid
• grants must be repaid if taken from local organizations.

Explanation:

1. Analyze option A: The text says grants come from federal government, state government, local organizations, colleges, so they come from a variety of sources. This matches.
2. Analyze option B: The text says grants are free money (not loans), so "low - interest federal loans" is wrong as grants aren't loans.
3. Analyze option C: The text says "most grants are free money... and do not have to be repaid". The option says "grants are free money...", but the original has "most", so this is an overgeneralization.
4. Analyze option D: The text says grants do not have to be repaid, so this option is wrong.

Answer:

A. Grants come from a variety of sources
