PrepTest 62, Section 3, Question 25
University president: Our pool of applicants has been shrinking over the past few years. One possible explanation of this unwelcome phenomenon is that we charge too little for tuition and fees. Prospective students and their parents conclude that the quality of education they would receive at this institution is not as high as that offered by institutions with higher tuition. So, if we want to increase the size of our applicant pool, we need to raise our tuition and fees.

The university president's argument requires the assumption that
the proposed explanation for the decline in applications applies in this case
the quality of a university education is dependent on the amount of tuition charged by the university
an increase in tuition and fees at the university would guarantee a larger applicant pool
there is no additional explanation for the university's shrinking applicant pool
the amount charged by the university for tuition has not increased in recent years
