Multiple choice

Since the singers are receiving larger cash rewards and exposure than ever before, many people are encouraging their children to aim for career as singers. Analogously, a few years ago, children were urged to become lawyers, during the enormous upsurge in the profession of barristers. Today, however, it is obvious that there are opportunities for only a tiny fraction of talented lawyers to reach at the higher level of the profession.

The point of the analogy above is that

  1. Professional lawyers are also increasingly likely to become singers.

  2. Singers are becoming more popular than lawyers.

  3. In the future there will be more opportunities for talented lawyers.

  4. There will probably be very few opportunities for many talented singers.

  5. None of these
