Question 18

Explanation

To find the statement that is definitely false, we need to compare each option with the information presented in the text. The text outlines two main paths:

1. Students who drop out $\rightarrow$ start working to earn money.
2. Students who do not drop out $\rightarrow$ continue to higher education at universities and tend to live prosperously.

The statement that "Students who continue to higher education are students who belong to the dropout category" directly contradicts the information above. The text explicitly associates "continuing to higher education" with students who do not drop out. Therefore, claiming that university students are dropouts is a clear contradiction.

The other options are statements that are true or at least consistent with the text: students who go to college are indeed not dropouts, prosperous people are usually university graduates, and dropouts work (rather than go to college).
