The cost of the Iraq War, as of June 2009, equals:
A. Giving 32 million four-year college scholarships
B. enrolling more than 100 children in Head Start programs
C. building 5 million new public-housing units
D. either A or B is correct
The books says that 114 million kids in Head Start for 1 year and 128 million college scholarships for 1 year or 6.5 million units of public housing
Not sure about D-wording seems odd
I think b would be the answer-Head Start
100 children isn't close to 114 million kids
One of the other answers is correct. Read the problem and the answers VERY carefully.
sorry should have been enrolling more than 100 million children in Head Start programs
O.K. But that's not the answer.
Hint: 32 * 4 = ?
I actually had figured that -but the more than 100 million Head Start kids confused me-since 114 is more than 100 million-Thanks
I agree. This is a confusing question. But A must be the right answer.
is it d
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the information provided in the question and compare it to the options given.
1. The cost of the Iraq War, as of June 2009, is being compared to different metrics: college scholarships, Head Start programs, and public housing units.
2. The information states that there were 114 million kids in Head Start for 1 year and 128 million college scholarships for 1 year, or 6.5 million units of public housing.
Now let's evaluate each option:
A. Giving 32 million four-year college scholarships: The information provided states that there were 128 million college scholarships for 1 year. Therefore, this option exceeds the available college scholarships and is incorrect.
B. Enrolling more than 100 children in Head Start programs: The information states that there were 114 million kids in Head Start for 1 year, which is less than 128 million. Therefore, this option is correct.
C. Building 5 million new public-housing units: The information states that there were 6.5 million units of public housing, so this option is incorrect.
D. Either A or B is correct: Option A is incorrect, but option B is correct. Therefore, option D is also correct.
Based on the information provided, the correct answer is either option B (enrolling more than 100 children in Head Start programs) or option D (either A or B is correct).
