Question

What is the BEST explanation of why a college application essay should stand out? A. It proves that the author is a good writer. B. Admissions staff read over fifty essays a day. C. It details what the author has accomplished. D. Colleges must meet a new-student quota of 80 percent.

Answer 1

I'd go with B.

It'd make sense to want to stand out if the staff read a lot of essays per day. You don't want yours to be included with the uninteresting "same-old" pile.
