47. High school students who feel that they are not succeeding in school often drop out before graduating and go to work. Last year, however, the city’s high school dropout rate was significantly lower than the previous year’s rate. This is encouraging evidence that the program instituted two years ago to improve the morale of high school students has begun to take effect to reduce dropouts.

Which one of the following, if true about the last year, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.    There was a recession that caused a high level of unemployment in the city.
B.    The morale of students who dropped out of high school had been low even before they reached high school.
C.    As in the preceding year, more high school students remained in school than dropped out.
D.    High schools in the city established placement offices to assist their graduates in obtaining employment.
E.    The antidropout program was primarily aimed at improving students’ morale in those high schools with the highest dropout rates.
答案有说A，也有说D的感觉各有理由，我个人感觉是A，可是反驳不了D，求教大牛！D的理由是因为学生在辍学前就已经可以go to work所以这个帮助他们找工作的Office帮不了他们，怎么反驳？

道德让学生不去找工作。。。。A更好一点。他因解释。。。。因为没有工作好找，所以找不到。。。。。比D更加准确。D的话我认为，别人帮你找。但是你是不是想去呢。。。或者你还觉得不会成功呢。。。。虽然帮助你找工作。但是就像原题说的那种High school students who feel that they are not succeeding in school 。。。。D不如A直接。。。

我做这题也是在AD中徘徊。但最后没选择D是因为：1，他因更有说服力 2，D也可能就是program中的一部分

你可以这样思考，假设你是学校的董事，校长在股东会的时候跟你邀功说学校实施的program多好多好，解决了dropout的问题。这时候你要critical的分析他所说的，因为有别的原因导致dropout下降，并不只是你学校努力的结果。
