Read the passage. Are Mature Students the Future of Universities?
The average age of college students is on the increase. While society traditionally thinks of the age of undergraduates to be from 18 to 22,
this range is not only widening, but also the starting age of college freshmen is getting older. Recent studies have shown that the student entering
age at some traditional campus-based universities is now closer to 27 years old. For online university programs, which offer flexible, virtual
classroom experiences, the age range can be quite wide, with the average student age somewhere between 35 and 37.
With mature students filling the ranks of universities around the country, it is apparent that the traditional structure of college education is
changing. However, does this mean that the typical university curriculum will become more challenging? Or, does it simply spell an end to the more
traditional model of university scheduling and the introduction of a system more amenable to the lives of working professionals?
Which meaning of the word amenable is used in the passage?
O 1. accommodating
0 2. accountable
O 3. obedient

Westridge, ohio — more than 600 transportation employees went on strike at midnight last night after the westridge city council rejected their demand for a 10% pay increase. the strike affects all bus and rail services throughout westridge and the neighboring communities of turlock, smithfield, and lowell grove. "we hoped we would not be forced to strike, but until our demands are met, we really have no choice," said wanda thompson, a representative of the transportation employees union. "we simply don't get paid what we deserve." members of the westridge city council see the situation differently. "our employees already earn 6% more than the state average for similar transportation jobs," said raoul cobian, president of the westridge city council. hopefully the two groups can come to an agreement soon and bring this unnecessary strike to an end. what is the common name for the underlined information in the article?
