Question

consider this claim: college is worth the cost of tuition because graduates experience greater financial success. which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? college graduates are more likely than those who dont have college degrees to report being in excellent health. the lifetime earnings of a college graduate are about half a million dollars more than those of someone with only a high school diploma. a prominent financial blogger writes, \my father dropped out of college in his senior year, and he always regretted it. i was determined to not make the same mistake.\

Explanation:

The claim is about college graduates having greater financial success. The first option is about health, not financial success. The third option is a personal anecdote. The second option provides a quantifiable financial - related fact (lifetime earnings difference) which is strong evidence for the claim.

Answer:

The lifetime earnings of a college graduate are about half a million dollars more than those of someone with only a high school diploma.
