Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "forgotten" implies neglect or lack of attention, and choice C is the only option that suggests a lack of resources and assistance directed towards non-college-bound youth, which resonates with the idea of being "forgotten." Option A may be a consequence of neglect, but it does not fully capture the essence of the term "forgotten." Option B is incorrect as it is not a reflection of the value of non-college-bound youth in Western culture. Option D may be true, but it does not make sense without any further elaboration.
