How many nontraditional students are people of color?

A) one fourth
B) two fifths
C) one third
D) two thirds

There is no information provided in the given passage to accurately determine the exact percentage or number of nontraditional students who are people of color. Therefore, the best answer would be to choose the option that is closest to a reasonable estimate based on national statistics. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cgs.asp), in 2017-18, about 33% of undergraduate students in the United States identified as minority students. Therefore, it is reasonable to estimate that approximately one third of nontraditional students are people of color.
