    Answer: The word "ensures" implies that it is certain.

    In the case of the study, they simply found that the average salary is greater for college graduates. This doesn't mean that in every case the college graduate makes more money.

    The problem is the word "ensures". Our study doesn't show certainty only a general pattern.
