The number of
applications for teaching positions in Newtown's public schools was 5.7 percent
lower in 1993 than in 1985 and 5.9 percent lower in 1994 than in 1985.  Despite a steadily growing student population
and an increasing number of teacher resignations, however, Newtown does not
face a teacher shortage in the late 1990's.

Which of the
following, if true, would contribute most to an explanation of the apparent
discrepancy above?

A. Many of
Newtown's public school students do not graduate from high school.

B. New housing
developments planned for Newtown are slated for occupancy in 1997 and are
expected to increase the number of elementary school students in Newtown's
public schools by 12 percent.

C. The Newtown
school board does not contemplate increasing the ratio of students to teachers
in the 1990's.

D. Teachers'
colleges in and near Newtown produced fewer graduates in 1994 than in 1993.

E. In 1993
Newtown's public schools received 40 percent more applications for teaching
positions than there were positions available.

这道题我错选了C

当时觉得选哪个都不对 傻眼了

看答案 选E

牛牛们 看我这样解释对不对

因为饱和 所以申请了也不收 所以申请的人就会减少

但是饱和了 即使有人辞职 也不会短缺

但这样也太拧了吧 怎么这么能想的

还是我理解的不对
