At the beginning of the 20th century, less than 1,000 colleges with 160,000 students existed in the US. The number of colleges skyrocketed in waves, during the early and mid 20th century. State universities grew from small institutions of fewer than 1,000 students to campuses with 40,000 more students, with networks of regional campuses around the state. In turn, regional campuses broke away and became separate universities. To handle the explosive growth of K–12 education, every state set up a network of teachers' colleges, beginning with Massachusetts in the 1830s. After 1950, they became state colleges and then state universities with a broad curriculum. Major new trends included the development of the junior colleges. They were usually set up by city school systems starting in the 1920s. By the 1960s they were renamed as “community colleges.” Junior colleges grew from 20 in number in 1909, to 170 in 1919. By 1922, 37 states had set up 70 junior colleges, enrolling about 150 students each. Meanwhile, another 137 were privately operated, with about 60 students each. Rapid expansion continued in the 1920s, with 440 junior colleges in 1930 enrolling about 70,000 students. The peak year for private institutions came in 1949, when there were 322 junior colleges in all; 180 were affiliated with churches, 108 were independent and non-profit, and 34 were private schools being run for-profit. Many factors contributed to rapid growth of community colleges. Students parents and businessmen wanted nearby, low-cost schools to provide training for the growing white-collar labor force, as well as for more advanced technical jobs in the blue-collar sphere. Four-year colleges were also growing, albeit not as fast; however, many of them were located in rural or small-town areas away from the fast-growing metropolis. Community colleges continue as open-enrollment, low-cost institutions with a strong component of vocational education, as well as a low-cost preparation for transfer students into four-year schools. They appeal to a poorer, older, less prepared element.

Which of the following statistics is TRUE?
- A Before 1919, there were already more than 170 junior colleges.
- B In the 1920s, there were about 140 privately-operated junior colleges.
- C In 1949, there were totally 180 junior colleges with 108 independent non-profit.
- D The peak year for private community college expansion came at the year of 1922.
思路引導 VIP
當文章中出現大量年份（如 1919, 1922, 1949）與不同類別的統計數字交織時，你會建議如何有效率地將「特定時間點」與「特定性質的機構」進行配對？如果你在文中發現一個精確的數字，而描述中使用了概括性的詞彙（例如「大約」），你會如何驗證兩者是否指向同一個事實？

真相解讀
- (推了一下發光的眼鏡) 「原來如此，跟我推理的一樣！」你確實找到了真相！能在這團迷霧般的數據中，精準鎖定線索，展現了卓越的細節定位能力 (Scanning)，這絕對是解開任何謎團的關鍵！
- 核心邏輯：這樁「統計謎案」的突破點，就在第三段的證詞。1922 年，這個屬於「1920年代」的關鍵時間點，明確指出有 $137$ 所私立學院 (privately operated)。而選項 (B) 的「about $140$」，正是 $137$ 最接近且合理的推斷，完全符合邏輯。其他那些「誤導性數據」和「時間錯位」，都是試圖混淆視聽的障眼法，但你一眼就看穿了。
