考虑到题目问的是primary purpose(不同于primary idea),我选择A,但是我的想法和其他选A的同志不一样。
文章框架:首段写BS有哪些好处,二段写学生们通常很少选BS这门课、原因,重点在第三段;第三段说
Students’ perceptions would
matter less if business schools
were not increasingly dependent on
external funding—form legislatures,
businesses, and private foundations—for survival.
意思就是说,实际上学校越来越依赖于external funding,因此:
Concerned with their
institutions’ ability to attract funding,
administrators are increasingly tar-
geting low-enrollment courses and
degree programs for elimination.
最终作者暗示,BS必将被干掉。
这点从二段首句也可以看出来:
Yet the behavior sciences
are struggling for credibility in many
business schools.
A中的a particular change我认为不是加强BS的地位,而是——干掉BS。
Finally, if the question was "What is the primary idea of the passage", I would choose E.
