Answer option (E) is not explicitly mentioned in the passage, and it is too much of a stretch to assume that introductory courses in Asian American studies were the only means available to acquire knowledge of the field a few decades ago. The passage only discusses the dilemma faced by teachers in selecting appropriate texts for these courses due to the abundance of available materials. It does not provide information about alternative ways to study Asian American studies or the exclusivity of these courses. Therefore, option (E) cannot be inferred from the passage.

Hi KarishmaB GMATNinja DmitryFarber GMATNinjaTwo
In question-2, could you please explain why option E is wrong?
(E) large number of alternatives that are nearly identical in content
"Today, excellent anthologies and other introductory texts exist, and books on individual Asian American nationality groups and on general issues important for Asian Americans are published almost weekly. Even professors who are experts in the field find it difficult to decide which of these to assign to students...."
When I looked at the above lines, it gives me an indication that there is a lot of content in the field of "Asian Americans", hence, teachers faced a dilemma due to so many options available.
In question-5, why option B is wrong?
(B) an increase in the number of students signing up for introductory courses in Asian American studies
"Such works would enable students taking Asian American studies courses (and professors in related fields) to look up basic information on Asian..."
My reasoning is "would enable students" and "basic information" suggests that such works would lead to an increase in the number of students taking introductory courses.
Please help me understand why these two are wrong.

The texts share a common field, but that does not mean that the texts are identical in content. You can have a wide variety of content within a given field.
The dilemma stems from the variety of options. If those options were identical, there wouldn't really be a dilemma because the choice of text wouldn't matter!
Lastly, "books on individual Asian American nationality groups" implies different books on different nationality groups, so those books cannot have identical content.
So the answer should be (D), not (E).
