Answer: (C) The United States does have the highest divorce rate in the world— about 38% of the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce. England has nothing to do with divorce rates in the United States. Their divorce rate is lower than the U.S. rate; thus, (A) is incorrect. (B) is incorrect. The U.S. does not have the lowest divorce rate in the world; the opposite is true. (D) is also incorrect. Not only does England not have the lowest divorce rate, but the percentage given is incorrect. The United States does not have a divorce rate of 13%, it is closer to 38%; thus, (E) is not the most correct choice.
