At a certain college, graduate teaching assistants conduct discussion sections but have no input into grading. It has been suggested that graduate assistants be given some grading responsibility, but many undergraduates oppose that proposal. They argue that if grades are assigned by graduate assistants, regular fulltime faculty will devote less time and attention to undergraduate work.
The information in the passage above answers which one of the following questions?
(A) Are grades assigned by graduate teaching assistants inherently as fair as those given by regular faculty? (B) Are some undergraduates in favor of maintaining the full-time faculty’s interest in their schoolwork? (C) May regular full-time faculty conduct discussion sections at the college? (D) Does graduate student contact with undergraduates’ work make the grades assigned by regular faculty less valid? (E) Are regular faculty members in favor of giving graduate assistants some teaching responsibility?

B for me-
(A) Are grades assigned by graduate teaching assistants inherently as fair as those given by regular faculty? =>> stem does not talk about this (B) Are some undergraduates in favor of maintaining the full-time faculty’s interest in their schoolwork? => yes, stem talks about less time and attention devotaed by full time faculty (C) May regular full-time faculty conduct discussion sections at the college? ==>> no reference in stem (D) Does graduate student contact with undergraduates’ work make the grades assigned by regular faculty less valid? ==>> information in stem does not talk about this (E) Are regular faculty members in favor of giving graduate assistants some teaching responsibility? ==>> Question is not about teachning responsibilities, but about grading responsibilities, hence irrelevant
