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?

1. The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded.

Answer:B

B说， 好景时25%的小孩读私校， 私校收费很贵； 题目说， 政府资助的公校，收费全免，而且是生比例不能降低；  于是，说明经济崩溃时期， 这些读私校的小孩至少会转移部分过来读公校，那么公校老师的数目只能相应提高，来维持师生比例不变或者不降低，那么结论当然就是经济崩溃时期政府资助的公校老师岗位不会受到影响； 

管卫东的题目是真题么？  还是他自己琢磨出来的习题阿 ？ 顺便问问，不太了解管卫东的那套资料，gmat都是机考，好像 像模像样的真题很少泄露出来的阿；

这道题还是不懂 NN能否翻译一下

我的理解：在经济不景气的情况下 Vargonia不会减少公立学校的教师工作 原因为法律要

求所有这个城市的学生都是公费上学，另一个原因法律还要求学生老师的流动率不会被超

过。

是不是我理解有问题 就是不明白答案怎么选出来的

我怎么还觉得A是削弱阿
