i hoped that most of the students were going to enroll in college. the confetti would be for their private celebrations, those solitary moments when they had passed a test that worried them, finished a difficult paper at 2 a. m., found a summer internship. sometimes, even when no one else is around, it's important to celebrate when we have struggled and succeededâto sprinkle a little confetti on our own heads.
now read the excerpt from the article "career planning for high schoolers."
about two-thirds of high school graduates from the class of 2013 enrolled in college that fall, according to bls: 42 percent in baccalaureate (4-year) colleges and 24 percent in 2-year schools. of the remaining one-third of 2013 graduates, who opted not to go to college, 74 percent entered the labor force.
college-bound high school graduates may not know it, but bls data show that wages are usually higher, and unemployment rates lower, for people who continue their education after high school.

a. both discourage higher education.

Araby every morning i lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. the blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that i could not be seen. when she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. i ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. i kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, i quickened my pace and passed her. this happened morning after morning. i had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood. what is the general tone of the passage? a. courageous b. comical c. passionate d. fearful
