8. The economy is in a dismal state, universities are suffering from cutbacks, and many students must turn to any source of funds available if they are to make ends meet. Faced with this situation, the university has terminated the employment of some of its more productive departmental workers. Why? University regulations prohibit a student’s receiving financial aid and then working for an auxiliary income that exceeds a specified limit. Employees whose incomes had reached that limit were terminated. Now, the university must find other employees. Unfortunately, though, the university’s choice of students to fill the positions will not be based upon their abilities to perform, or even upon their financial need, but upon how much money they have made  Which one of the following is the best statement or the primary point of the passage?

(A) Good student-employees should be able to obtain financial aid and, at the same time, earn auxiliary incomes without limits.

(B) In the face of a declining economy, universities need to be more lenient in their financial aid policies.

(C) University departments must adhere to the university’s regulations.

(D) Decisions about student employment should be based entirely upon each student’s financial need.（A）

(E) Due to the problems created by a dismal economy, some student-workers have lost their jobs.

Unfortunately, though, the university’s choice of students to fill the positions will not be based upon their abilities to perform, or even upon their financial need, but upon how much money they have made        

This is an inference type of question. You need to find out what is the conclusion of this stimulus.

Which one of the following is the best statement or the primary point of the passage?

(A) Good student-employees should be able to obtain financial aid and, at the same time, earn auxiliary incomes without limits.

This is the right answer. The key for this problem is in the last sentence of this stimulus,

author use one word to express his attitude toward all the facts presented in this stimulus, which is “Unfortunately”. This shows that author against university’s policy and believe

that Good student-employees can still work even they obtain financial aid.

(B) In the face of a declining economy, universities need to be more lenient in their financial aid policies.

The stimulus mentioned financial aid policy, but it is not the core issue of this argument.  

(C) University departments must adhere to the university’s regulations.

Totally off topic, who cares.

(D) Decisions about student employment should be based entirely upon each student’s financial need.

（A）
            (E) Due to the problems created by a dismal economy, some student-workers have lost their jobs.

This is not the conclusion of this argument, but a paraphrase of one the premise.
