Answer 1

Answer: D. A large proportion of the factory workers have not graduated from high school

Explanation:

Nearly all High School graduates have earned their factory certificate with the few remaining not earning it due to various commitments in the evenings.

Despite this, MOST of the factory workers are said not to possess the certificate. This means that the High School graduates form a MINORITY in the Factory and if they are in the minority, then the majority are not High School graduates.
