Which of the following is NOT an important aspect of a graduate student’s experience to achieve academic and professional success?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Forming support groups from different ethnic groups to stay connected.
The passage highlights several important aspects of a graduate student’s journey that contribute to academic and professional success. These include:
Conducting research and making original contributions to their field (Mentioned in paragraph 2)
Gaining practical experience through internships, co-op programs, or volunteer work (Paragraph 3)
Building a professional network (Also emphasized in paragraph 2)
However, the passage does not mention anything about forming support groups from different ethnic groups as a strategy for academic or professional success. While this may be helpful for emotional or social support, it is not stated or implied as an important aspect in the context of academic/professional achievement in the passage.
