Look at the four stars (*) that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage: 1* A recent study has revealed that the percentage of high grades at the university has risen steadily over the past five years. Over half of all grades given out are the highest grade possible - A’s. The grade D, which is actually a passing grade, has almost disappeared from use. 2* Students receive 26 percent fewer C’s than they did five years ago. 3* The term for this is grade inflation. 4* Just as a dollar buys less than it did five years ago, an A grade means less than it used to.
