According to Melvin Tumin, which of the following high school seniors will most likely attend college? A) the A - student from a decaying urban slum B) the student who scored the mean on the college entrance exam C) the C + student from the upper class D) the promising student in need of financial aid

The correct answer is:

C) the C + student from the upper class.

Explanation:

According to the sociologist Melvin Turmin in his theory of social stratification, the simple fact of being born in the upper class assures more opportunities for individuals more than the opportunities that people born in the lower class might have. The ones born in a higher lineage are going to be more likely to discover their capacities and to explore their talents. That is why, to answer this question, it is important to take into consideration the stratum of the student, that in this case is a student from the upper class who has more possibilities to access to college.
