  1. an extraordinary high percentage of their students fail to gain admission to higher education
  2. an extraordinarily high percentage of its students fail to gain admission to higher education
  3. an extraordinary high percentage of its students fails to gain admission to higher education
  4. an extraordinarily high percentage of its students fail to gain admission to higher education
  5. a high percentage of its students, extraordinarily high in fact, fails to gain admission to higher education

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Option(B) is correct Always check pronouns first. We cannot use ‘their’ when referring to a school. So we can eliminate A and D. Next we need the adverb ‘extraordinarily’ not the adjective ‘extraordinary’ to modify ‘high’, and so we eliminate C. Of the remaining options, E is wordy and also has a verb-subject agreement problem: a percentage of students should be treated as plural and so we need ‘fail’. Hence the answer is B.
