参考答案【正确答案：C】
根据"Most of the first-generation students were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need"（大多数第一代大学生（59.1%）拿过Pell Grants，一项为需要经济帮助的本科生设立的联邦助学金）可知 C项“大多数一代大学生需要经济资助”正确。
A和B项均未提及。第一段提到"Their grades are lower and their drop out rates are higher"（他们考试分数更低，辍学率更高）并不能说明D项大多数人"未能完成学业"。

- In the filmThe Devil Wears Prada, Priestly scolds her unattractive assistant for imaginingthat high fashion doesn't affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue colorof the assistant's sweater descended over the years from fashion shows todepartment stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless foundher garment.

In the last decade, advances in technology have allowedmass-market labels to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand moreprecisely.
