Answer 1

C) the cost of a post secondary degree is worth it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Going to college is expensive, but getting a college degree can help you earn a much better salary than just having a high school degree. In the same way, getting a post secondary degree (not necessarily a college degree) is also worth it because it can also help you get a better job and a better salary. E.g. being a nurse, electrician or plumber can help you earn a better salary.

Some technical degrees can result in very good salaries, an electrician makes on average more than $43k per year and a computer technician can make over $80k. While a high school graduate generally makes below $30k, and most higher paying manufacturing jobs are requiring some type of technical degree now.

Answer 2

c.the cost of a post secondary degree is worth it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement indicates that if you have a post secondary degree you will be able to get more money during your life and from this, you can infer that the money you pay to receive this type of education would be worth because you will see the benefits in the future with higher earnings. According to this, the answer is that the cost of a post secondary degree is worth it.

The other options are not right, because the statement only says that you will get more money if you have a post secondary degree than if you don't get it but it doesn't indicate that if you pay more for it you will earn more. Also, as you will get more money, you shouldn't avoid getting one and you can't infer from the statement that you shouldn't care about the amount you will spend to get the degree.
