Question

consider this claim: college is worth the cost of tuition because graduates experience greater financial success. which is the strongest evidence to support the claim? a prominent financial blogger writes, \my father dropped out of college in his senior year, and he always regretted it. i was determined to not make the same mistake.\ college graduates are more likely than those who dont have college degrees to report being in excellent health. the lifetime earnings of a college graduate are about half a million dollars more than those of someone with only a high school diploma.

Explanation:

The claim is about college being worth tuition due to greater financial success. The first option is a personal anecdote (not statistical or generalizable evidence). The second option is about health (not financial success). The third option directly compares lifetime earnings (a financial metric) of college graduates and high - school diploma holders, which is relevant to financial success.

Answer:

The third option: "The lifetime earnings of a college graduate are about half a million dollars more than those of someone with only a high school diploma."
