“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 38 .”But the class remained silent.

These questions you could not answer are relatively common in 42 practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 43 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 44 .”
