Which milestone did Garrett achieve in his family regarding education?

• A. First in family to graduate from university
• B. His sister was the first to graduate
• C. His parents were graduates
• D. He did not graduate

Answer: (A)

Being the first in the family to graduate from university is a first-generation college graduate milestone. This describes Garrett breaking new ground in his family’s educational path, marking a level of achievement none of his relatives had reached before. That fit is exact: it highlights Garrett’s unique accomplishment rather than implying someone else in the family had already graduated, or that he didn’t graduate. If his sister had been the first to graduate, the milestone would belong to her; if his parents had graduates, the family would already have a college degree history; and if he didn’t graduate, there would be no graduation milestone to describe.
