113. The reforms to improve the quality of public education that have been initiated on the part of suppliers of public education have been insufficient. Therefore, reforms must be demanded by consumers. Parents should be given government vouchers with which to pay for their children’s education and should be allowed to choose the schools at which the vouchers will be spent. To attract students, academically underachieving schools will be forced to improve their academic offerings.
The argument assumes that
(A) in selecting schools parents would tend to prefer a reasonable level of academic quality to greater sports opportunities or more convenient location.
(B) improvement in the academic offerings of schools will be enforced by the discipline of the job market in which graduation students compete
(C) there is a single best way to educate students
(D) children are able to recognize which schools are better and would influence their parents’ decisions.
(E) schools would each improve all of their academic offering and would not tend to specialize in one particular field to the exclusion of others.

请问各位为何选A？以及题干中题干的gouvernment vouche是在说些什么..谢谢！

自己顶一下，了解答案选A，推理关键词是parent与improve academic offering没错，但是gouvernment voucher那个到底是要说明什么呢？

文章认为由公立教育的提供者（ suppliers of public education）所发起的教育质量改革没有成效，应该由消费者来要求改革。政府与其直接给学校拨款，不如给家长发放“教育消费券”，家长能选择学校。为了吸引生源，学校会提高教育质量。

前提：家长在择校时，优先考虑学校教育质量而非其他因素如位置，体育设施等

因为suppliers of public education对improve the quality of public education 的作用还不够，所以需要政府的支持，政府支持的方式就是给家长gouvernment voucher，gouvernment voucher能换来学校建设经费。
而家长能选择把他们手中gouvernment voucher给哪个学校，也就是他们要把孩子送进去的学校。
如果A成立的话，结论（academic quality 高的学校就能吸引更多学生）就成立。

其实gouvernment voucher神马的跟结论没有太大关系，只是一个叙述的铺垫吧。主要的逻辑顺序是：家长能替孩子择校，如果他们最看重的是academic quality（A选项的假定）, 那么学校吸引学生，最好的方法就是 improve their academic offerings
