Question # 25

Passage:

State rules now require colleges to list course material costs during registration. Initial compliance was spotty, but by year two most sections displayed prices and open-education options. Surveys showed fewer “surprise at bookstore” complaints; one department piloted free digital texts and saw no drop in exam scores. Student groups push to expand zero-cost sections.

Which statement is best supported by the passage?

Options:

A.

Transparent pricing and OER pilots reduced unpleasant surprises without harming learning outcomes.

B.

Free materials always outperform commercial texts.

C.

Transparency made students buy fewer books and fail more often.

D.

Listing prices is unnecessary if professors teach well.
