Ramona: One of the primary values of a university education is the intellectual growth that results from exposure to a wide range of ideas. Too many students miss this because they choose technical majors only to improve their chances on the job market. Recent pressures to graduate as quickly as possible only make matters worse.
Martin: But we have to be realistic. My brother graduated last year as an English major, but he’s working as a waiter. Anyway, you are forgetting that even students in technical majors are required to take some liberal arts classes.
The conversation most strongly supports the claim that Ramona and Martin agree with each other that
(A) students are stimulated to grow intellectually only in English classes
(B) only graduates with degrees in technical subjects get good jobs
(C) not every university class exposes students to a wide range of ideas
(D) intellectual growth is more important than financial security
(E) financial security is more important than intellectual growth
Martin: But we have to be realistic. My brother graduated last year as an English major, but he’s working as a waiter. Anyway, you are forgetting that even students in technical majors are required to take some liberal arts classes.

Think the answer is C
(C) not every university class exposes students to a wide range of ideas
Ramona clearly agrees with this statement.
Martin also (imo) agrees with this. He says - "Anyway, you are forgetting that EVEN students in technical majors are required to take some liberal arts classes."
He says EVEN students in tech majors are required to take some arts classes. I guess he implies not every course does that.
Thoughts?

Argument
Ramona argues that value of University education lies in intellectual growth which comes from wide range of ideas, which he assumes does not come from technical education.
Martin agrees that intellectual growth is importat but realism dictates that jobs are in technical field. He also argues that some liberal arts is also taught in technical schools.
The conversation most strongly supports the claim that Ramona and Martin agree with each other that
(A) students are stimulated to grow intellectually only in English classes -- Though liberal arts has been discussed, English class has been not. Too Narrow --> Incorrect
(B) only graduates with degrees in technical subjects get good jobs -- Only is an extreme word. Never said anywhere in the argument that only technical students get good jobs --> Martin may agree but both wont --> Incorrect
(C) not every university class exposes students to a wide range of ideas --> This is true. Martin counters only by saying that intellectual development doesnt give good job.--> Both agree on it --> CORRECT
(D) intellectual growth is more important than financial security --> Both dont agree on it --> Incorrect
(E) financial security is more important than intellectual growth --> Both do not agree on it --> Incorrect
