All of the following are benefits of an urban school except for the:

a. increased number of opportunities to pursue career interests.
b. cheaper living costs of urban areas.
c. increased number of opportunities to experience fine culture.
d. greater number of people from a greater variety of backgrounds.

B. Cheaper living costs of urban areas

Explanation:

Compared to those who attend rural schools, kids who go to urban schools have some advantages.

Kids who live in cities have a greater number of opportunities to pursue career interests. Poverty is an issue rural areas deal with more often than urban areas. This problem affects education as well. Many children have to help their parents, find a way to earn money early, which leads to a higher drop-out rate. College is often not an option.

Then, it is harder to find excellent teachers in rural areas, and one of the main goals of education is to broaden children's horizons. Children attending rural schools lack opportunities to experience fine culture.

Cities are a multicultural environment, which means that there is a great chance that people from a bigger variety of backgrounds can be encountered there. The case with rural areas is the opposite.

Out of the listed statements, the only incorrect statement is statement B, as living in urban areas is not cheap at all, especially compared to rural areas. Many parents from rural areas can't even afford to have their children move to the city in order to pursue education.
