Although it may seem counterintuitive, students who are forced to choose a profession early in the academic process vary little from students who decide on a career path much later; there is only a $\(\qquad\)$ difference in the number of students from each group who continue into their chosen field after graduation.

1. Key Clues:
"Vary little" $\(\rightarrow\)$ The difference is minor.
"Only a [blank] difference" $\(\rightarrow\)$ Reinforces insignificance.
2. Evaluate Options:
(A) negligible (trivially small) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Strong fit.
(B) minute (extremely small) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Synonymous with "negligible" in this context.
(C) respectable (significant/considerable) $\(\rightarrow\)$ Contradicts "vary little."
(D) negative $\(\rightarrow\)$ Implies inverse correlation, which is unsupported.
(E) complementary $\(\rightarrow\)$ Irrelevant; no mutual enhancement is discussed.
Correct Answers: (A) negligible and (B) minute (both mean "insignificantly small").
