17.Rejecting the apprenticeship model of training social workers in philanthropic agencies, twentieth-century reformer Edith Abbott was convinced of social work education belonging in the university so that students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues.

Rejecting X, Edith was convinced (of/that/about) Y.
Idiom: Edith was convinced that <something was true/ should happen / should be>. Eliminate A, C, and E.
B and D are pretty similar but have one major difference. There are two "things" discussed: (1) SW education at university level (2) students offered broad range of classes
Are these two things unrelated to one another but both things about which Edith was convinced? That is: Edith was convinced that social work education should be in the university and Edith was convinced that students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues
If the above is what I'm trying to say, then I use the word "and" to separate the two things - I'm indicating that they are not necessarily interrelated themselves, but they are both related to the opening part of the sentence (Edith was convinced that...)
Sort of like: I'm convinced that I should study harder for the GMAT and that I should learn to swim. Is that the kind of thing we're going for?
OR are these two things related to each other? I'm convinced that I should go to the YMCA more often, where I can learn to swim.
If this is what I'm trying to say, I don't want to use the word "and." I want to use some other structure to indicate that these two things are actually interrelated.
That's why D is better than B in this case - because the two things actually are interrelated. If SW education is in the university, then students can be offered a broad range of courses. (Note that the original sentence uses a set-up that also indicates this interrelationship: do the first thing so that the second thing can happen. They're making very clear that these two things are interrelated.)
