Answer

Brief Explanations:

The claim is about college being worth tuition due to greater financial success. The first option is about health, which is not directly financial. The third is a personal anecdote. The second option provides a quantifiable financial difference (half a million dollars more in lifetime earnings for college graduates vs high - school diploma holders), which directly supports the financial success aspect of the claim.

Answer:

The lifetime earnings of a college graduate are about half a million dollars more than those of someone with only a high school diploma.
