网考网解析：
Each of the given statements is true except Choice E. (A) In 199l, more than 50% of the adults whose highest degree was at least a bachelor’s degree participated in adult education, whereas among those whose highest educational attain-ment was a high school diploma or GED (high school equivalency diploma) fewer than 25% participated. (B) From I991 to 1995, among those adults whose highest educational attainment was grades 9-12, without earning a high school diploma, the rate of participation in adult edu-cation increased from about 15% to 23%, an increase of about 50%. None of the other groups had nearly that great an increase. (C) Since the population of the country grew between 1991 and 1995, and the rate of par-ticipation in adult education programs increased in every category, the total number of people participating had to increase. (D) From 1991 to 1995 the rate of participa-tion in adult education for those who had attained at least a bachelor’s degree increased from about 52% to 58%, the least increase of any group on both an absolute and percent basis. (E) Without knowing how many adults have earned a college degree and how many have attended’some college without earning a col-lege degree, it is impossible to make this ,con-clusion. For example, 50% of 100,000,000 is much more than 58% of 50,000,000. document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
