Mr. Ito: If all universities focused on finances, there would be no research universities, because of the intrinsically high cost of running such universities.
Ms. Nakamura: I do not concur with that stance. The academic challenges and opportunities provided by research universities attract the best academicians. This, in turn, enables those universities to concentrate on specialized research.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen Ms. Nakamura’s attempt to refute Mr. Ito’s claim?
A. Academicians at research universities command high salaries.
B. Becoming highly specialized is the modern trend among academicians.
C. Existing research universities are partly funded through public subsidies.
D. The student failure rate at research universities is high.
E. Sophisticated, specialized research attracts high funding.

Mr Ito- if focused on finances, would be no research uni, because of high cost of running such uni.
Ms nakamura- dont agree on that.
reason- research uni provides the challenges and opportunities and that attracts best academicians. and this is turn will help those uni to concentrate on specialized research.
here the ito's argument relies on financial aspect whereas lady countered that with completely different reason. her argument focuses on specialized research.
A. Academicians at research universities command high salaries.
not about high salaries. reject.
B. Becoming highly specialized is the modern trend among academicians.
irrelevant. out.
C. Existing research universities are partly funded through public subsidies.
this could be trap but it has no way to back nakamura's reasoning.
D. The student failure rate at research universities is high.
out of scope.
E. Sophisticated, specialized research attracts high funding.
this completes the link. if universities attracts best people and then those people concentrate on specialized research and then those research attracts the funding , it gets easier to run research uni.
