Section B : Summary [10 marks] Read the article and answer the question that follows.

Not everyone who enters college or university is successful. Some students drop out of college before they complete their degree.

They spend their time going to parties or movies. Others attend university just for the sake of obtaining a degree. They never settle down to a serious programme of study. Some get involved in relationships and lose interest in studies altogether. Other problems can also affect how well a student does.
