Which are UCSC's two newest colleges?

• A. College Nine and JRL
• B. College Eight and Porter
• C. College Ten and Merritt
• D. College Eleven and Kresge

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is recognizing UCSC’s most recent additions to its residential colleges. UCSC expanded over time, and the latest pair of colleges to be established are College Nine and College Ten. They were opened in the turn of the century to provide new housing and learning communities, distinguishing themselves from the older, original colleges. So, when identifying the two newest colleges, you’re looking for both names that reflect those late additions. A choice that pairs College Nine with something that isn’t a college name doesn’t fit, because the correct pair should be two actual, newer colleges.
