Desmond told his two friends, Marley and Brianna, that he was awarded a $10,000 grant for college if he becomes a math or science teacher. Desmond wants to teach physics.

A. Marley is correct because a grant is like a gift and he can still get scholarships or loans to pay for the rest of his expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Desmond told his two friends, Marley and Brianna, that he was awarded a $10,000 grant for college if he becomes a math or science teacher. Desmond wants to teach physics.

Marley told him he should take the grant. Brianna told him not to take the grant. Which statement about their advice is true?

A. Marley is correct because a grant is like a gift and he can still get scholarships or loans to pay for the rest of his expenses.

B. Marley is correct because he can take the grant and then study whatever he chooses without paying it back if he changes his mind about his career.

C. Brianna is correct because he cannot get scholarships if he takes the grant and scholarships would pay more of his education costs.

D. Brianna is correct because grants are like loans and must be paid back. He should wait and see what scholarships and work-study programs he qualifies for.

There are several ways of obtaining money to pay for education and these are grants, loans, and scholarships.

Grants are what can be considered to be "gift with an obligation" whereby if one fails to uphold the obligation, then the grant will be converted to a loan which needs to be paid.

The grant offered to Desmond is for him to become a mathematics or science teacher. Since he wants to teach physics, the grant would be ideal for him. Option A is therefore correct because a grant is just like a gift and he can still get either loans or scholarship.
