Answer:
The correct option is option A.
Explanation:
As the options are mentioned in the question but are not discernable clearly, thus the options are as below:
a. He could work each summer to earn the $1,350 difference.
b. He could wait a year for college and earn the difference.
c. He could abandon his plans for college because he does not have enough money.
d. He could take out a student loan for the difference of $1,350, plus an extra $2,000 a year for mad money.
As per the minimum wage of 9 dollars per hour and a 40 hour week, Alex can earn the difference in roughly 4 weeks.
The correct option is A as it is the most logical option available.
Option b is not correct as with waiting one year he will fall behind his peers such that the the amount is also not significantly large.
Option c is not correct as the amount required is not significant and means are available to easily cover up the difference.
Option d is not correct as with the student loan, he has to return the amount with a higher interest rate.
