Smithsonian university’s English Department in their recent study found out that, the elective Literary Analysis is not attracting the current students, as the elective is not relevant to contemporary society. So, till now the elective attracted only few students.
So, they propose a new approach to attract more students to the elective Literary Analysis - changing the curriculum emphasising the use of elective to produce mass media articles impacting the customers.
We need to strengthen the view , new curriculum will attract fresh blood.
A. Several of the foundational principles of literary analysis are involved in producing articles of mass media and understanding their impact on the consumer.
The foundational principles of literary analysis might be of highest quality and value. But, that doesn’t mean the implementation is in sync with the same principles. There might be a mismatch of letter and spirit. Hence, Wrong.
B. Knowledge of literary analysis is becoming increasingly important in understanding the role of mass media in contemporary society.
This gives a generalised view on the impact of literary analysis might achieve. Does that mean , knowledge about the outcome, is sufficient to attract fresh blood. Hence, Wrong.
C. In contemporary society, the production of articles of mass media and the understanding of how they impact the consumer is of major importance in business, politics, and recreation.This option strengthens the view on updating the curriculum on these lines, will definitely attract students, who are ambitious to make footprints across a broad spectrum. Hence, Correct.
D. Fewer students are interested in literary analysis today than there were 20 years ago.
The comparison of 20 yrs ago, seems irrelevant. The fact that students are not interested is undeniable. But, making a comparison across 2 decades, doesn’t support the view of curriculum change. Hence, Wrong.
E. An executive at a major mass media publisher has offered to deliver a guest lecture that could be useful in explaining the proposed curriculum.
A one day event might not revolutionise the whole university. This, might attract a sections to attend the meeting, the speaker might be capable of speaking or convincing the students towards the new curriculum. Does this get converted into numbers? It’s a matter of greater debate and discussion, as it may or may not occur. Hence, wrong.
Option C
