In general, jobs are harder to get in times of economic recession because many businesses cut back operations. However, any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools. This is because Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A. The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.
B. During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees.
C. Nearly 20 percent more teachers are currently employed in Vargonia’s government-funded schools than had been employed in those schools in the period before the last economic recession.
D. Teachers in Vargonia’s government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers.
E. During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded.

答案為何會是B?麻煩幫我解釋一下!!!
看的霧煞煞...

recession時 一般來講工作都會變的比較難找=>經濟不景氣 $$難賺
但這種情況不會發生在 the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools(那些找教書的人身上)

WHY?

題目回答: 因為國家贊助public schools
原因是: (上面blue字)

WHY?那又如何

Support

B. During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees.

本來就讀私立 government not funded的 Students因為recession
會去讀 government funded school

公立學生多了 公立老師不會因recession失去job; 反而有可能會需要更多老師呢

current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded
的條件下
就會需要更多老師
所以

weaken <if the ratio higher,they may not need more teachers>
B. During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees.
C. Nearly 20 percent more teachers are currently employed in Vargonia’s government-funded schools than had been employed in those schools in the period before the last economic recession.
無關比較
D. Teachers in Vargonia’s government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers.
well paid不一定有相關
E. During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded.
