问题     We often hear employers and business leaders lament the
unfortunate gap between what students learn in college and what they are
actually expected to know in order to be job-ready. This is particularly
alarming on light of the large—and still growing—number of people【S1】_________________
graduate from university: above 40% of 25- to 34-year-olds in OECD【S2】_________________
countries, and nearly 50% of 25- to 34-year-olds in America.
    Because  there  is  a  clear  premium  on  education—recent【S3】_________________
report from The Economist suggest that the ROI of a college degree has【S4】_________________
never been higher for young people—the value added from a college
degree decreases as the number of graduates increase.  This is why a【S5】_________________
college degree will boost earnings in over 20%  in sub-saharan Africa【S6】_________________
(where degrees are relatively rare),  and only 9%  in Scandinavia【S7】_________________
(where 40% of adults have degrees). At the same time, as university
qualifications become more commonplace, recruiters and employers will
increasingly demand them,  regardless of whether they are actually
acquired for a specific job.  So, while tertiary degrees may still lead to【S8】_________________
higher-paying jobs,  the same employers handing out these jobs are
hurting itself—and young people—by limiting their candidate pool to【S9】_________________
college graduates. In an age of ubiquitous disruption and unpredictable
job evolution, it is hard to argue that the knowledge acquisition
historical associated with a university degree is still relevant.【S10】________________
【S5】
选项
答案increase—increases
解析 主谓不一致。由上下文可知，该句应使用一般现在时。而该句主语是the number of graduates“毕业生人数”，谓语动词的单复数应与the number of“……的数目”保持一致，使用第三人称单数形式，故应将increase改为increases。
