With all races combined, how does the college graduation rate compare between men and women?

• A. Men are more likely to graduate.
• B. There is no difference.
• C. Graduation rates are higher for nonbinary individuals.
• D. Women are slightly more likely to have graduated from college than men.

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is the overall gender gap in college completion when you average across all racial groups. Looking at all races combined, women have consistently completed college at a higher rate than men, though the difference is small. This reflects broader educational trends in which women now earn more degrees and graduate at slightly higher rates than men. So, the statement that women are slightly more likely to have graduated from college than men matches the data. The other options don’t fit because men aren’t the more likely group, there is a measurable difference, and standard all-races comparisons don’t typically include nonbinary categories.
