翻译成中文以后，大家应该对文章整体内容有了把握，这样往往是有利于做题的，建议大家在做这道题的时候可以先在心中翻译一遍全文。
RO找指代是一个基本的方法，细心的同学发现，这篇文章出现了很多指代，我们接下来寻找一下：
1中的：such defenses属于比较明显的一个指代，指代的是defenses的内容（在234中的一段会出现）
2的make excuses和4的claim that可以看成是一个reference
3的fair access与2的Fair Accessto Higher Education是相似的表达
32组合：抽象到具体
3中提到了公平准入监管机构，2中具体提了一下这个机构的名字以及这个机构的总裁。因此这两段是抽象到具体的一个关系。
24组合：抽象到具体
2里面提到一些大学不能再找借口，而根据4的内容，发现4里面的claim that后面说的正是这么一个大学给出的借口。因此这是也是一个抽象到具体的关系。
41组合：指代关系
4里面提到了具体的借口是什么，1里面的指代词是such defenses，正好构成一个指代关系。
当题目做到这个程度，其实还没有结束。如果考生们想要保证高的正确率，需要进行检查。根据RO官方的打分要求，排对正确的一组就能得一分，那么我们进行RO检查的时候，需要看看我们给出的排序是否已经环环相扣（如果排出来的答案是ABCD，需要检查一下A跟B，B跟C，C跟D是否已经符合逻辑）。如果缺少了这一步骤，很有可能最后难以拿到全部分数，所以请各位同学谨记。
答案是:3241
