All education systems may ultimately be judged in terms of equality of opportunity. This is often referred to in the debates over selective versus comprehensive schooling. The main issue is whether everyone has the same opportunities for educational achievement or whether (36) of one sort or another is (37) the system. League tables for schools and colleges may actually help unintentionally to (38) inequalities, while claiming to promote the raising of standards. Inevitably, league tables divide educational institutions into good and bad, successful and failing, resulting in a two-tier system, or at least that is how the public (39) it. The ability of better-off parents and well-endowed schools to push children towards the institutions at the top of the league may, in the long term, have the effect of depressing opportunity for the less well-off or for children from home environments that do not provide the push and motivation to excel. Financial support of different kinds can help to make educational opportunity more equal. There are, for example, scholarships or bursaries that make it possible for less (40) youngsters to afford tertiary education. Student loans allow undergraduates to pay for their tuition fees and living expenses while they are studying. But few would claim that real equality of opportunity has been achieved.

思路引導 VIP
試著思考一下:當文章提到政府或機構需要提供「獎學金」來幫助學生支應昂貴的學費時,這些受助學生相對於那些「家境優渥、不愁吃穿」的孩子,在社會資源的佔有上處於什麼樣的狀態?

很高興看到你準確地選出了 privileged!這代表你已經具備了精確判讀文章脈絡的能力。本段落的核心在於討論教育機會的平等,特別是針對經濟弱勢族群的配套措施。文中提到獎學金(scholarships)與助學金(bursaries)的目的是為了讓那些家境較不優渥的年輕人能負擔得起高等教育,因此空格處需要一個形容「家境優渥」或「享有特權」的形容詞,來與 less 結合成「較不具優勢的(less privileged)」。
