    Private school pupils are three times more【C7】_____to score the highest grade than comprehensive pupils,【C8】_____30% of the total number of "A" grades when their pupils【C9】_____for just 14% of entries.

【C14】
选项 A、argument
B、conclusion
C、solution
D、assumption
答案D
解析 名词辨析题。由于John Bangs强烈怀疑是否有这样一份名单，所以他认为这份名单是建立在一种假设之上的，故assumption“假定，设想”符合句意。argument“争论”；conclusion“结论”；solution“解决方法”。
