13. Top college graduates are having more difficulty demonstrating their superiority to prospective employers than did the top students of twenty years ago when an honors degree was distinction enough. Today’s employers are less impressed with the honors degree. Twenty years ago no more than 10 percent of a given class graduated with honors. Today, however, because of grade inflation, the honors degree goes to more than 50 percent of a graduating class. Therefore, to restore confidence in the degrees they award, colleges must take steps to control grade inflation.

Which one of the following is an assumption that, if true, would support the conclusion in the passage?

(A) Today’s students are not higher achievers than the students of twenty years ago.

(B) Awarding too many honors degrees causes colleges to inflate grades.

(C) Today’s employers rely on honors ranking in making their hiring decisions.

(D) It is not easy for students with low grades to obtain jobs.

(E) Colleges must make employers aware of the criteria used to determine who receives an honors degree.

答案是A

我选的是 B

请教NN们~

谢谢楼上的解释

至于B，它说反了，提高分数是会提高荣誉学位的发放量，如果反之也成立，那么就成为一个相互加强的漩涡一样的控制不了的循环，就根本不受控制了……这个可能是我说多了，总之看准A，就不会选B了

这个还是有点不理解你说的意思.呜呜....

但是现在感觉B说的是inflation的事,而题中的结论是: to restore confidence---the schools have to control the grade inflation....需要找的是对这个结论的一个假设.
