But in the early 1970s, a contradiction【C1】______between education and the economy. Our value of education and our average educational attainment outstripped the capacity of the economy to【C2】______the graduates.
    Experts have argued that this contradiction is at the heart of the problem of public education today. It is not, as business leaders claim, that the schools are failing to【C3】______educate students. The real problem is a dearth(缺乏)of economic【C4】______for students who are not continuing on to college.

    A)absorb I)inevitable
    B)advancement J)opportunities

选项

解析 guarantee是及物动词，空格前为名词career，可知本空格应该填一个名词，与career构成一个名词短语。根据句意，“更高的学历保证了职业______”，所以空格处所填单词应该具有“发展，进步，提升”的含义，故答案为B)advancement(进步，提升)。
