What is happening with respect to funding for higher education?
 
  a. The share of all public universities' revenues derived from state and local taxes
   declined from 95 percent in 1991 to 80 percent in 2013.
   b. Since the recession ended, thirty states are still cutting their appropriations for
  higher education, and in all states except New York and Arkansas, higher education funding remains well below pre-recession levels.
   c. As tuition has soared at public state universities, financial aid has declined.
   d. Because tuition varies so much from one state to the other, and the Pell grant does
   not, many students in those states with higher tuition found college to be simply
   unaffordable.

Question 2

The text offers several reasons girls and women perform better in school than boys and men, on average. Which is NOT one of these reasons?
 
  a. As labor market barriers to women have been lowered, the benefits of a college education are more obvious for women.
  b. Parents likely assume that girls are smarter and therefore encourage their girls to put more effort into their studies.
   c. Differences in studying styles may affect outcomes; research shows that girls tend
   to study to understand the material, whereas boys emphasize the final performance.
  d. Boys' aspirations may be leveled because of their higher incidence of behavioral and disciplinary problems.
