Educator: If there is a crisis in education today, it is one of maintaining quality. People love to reduce serious learning to degrees and certificates. But one also can obtain these credentials by plodding through courses without ever learning much of value. When that happens, the credentials one receives are almost meaningless.
If the educator’s statements are true, then which one of the following must be true?
(A) Increasingly, institutions are granting meaningless degrees and certificates.
(B) It has become easier for students to complete their coursework without learning anything of importance.
(C) Educational institutions should cease to grant degrees and certificates.
(D) Degrees and certificates do not guarantee that a person has acquired much worthwhile knowledge.
(E) A person benefits from an education only to the extent that he or she invests effort in it.

To solve any Critical Reasoning Question, the most important thing is to eliminate option which is not discussed in the question.
What Educator is telling in this ?
People love to reduce learning to degree and certificate, and they are getting this degree without ever learning much of value.

If the educator’s statements are true, then which one of the following must be true?
(A) Increasingly, institutions are granting meaningless degrees and certificates. --> No discussion about institutions . So out of Scope
(B) It has become easier for students to complete their coursework without learning anything of importance. -> Coursework is a trap here, Its a degree or certification is discussed here which is not a coursework, also it is too negative to tell that anything of importance, it is too extreme.
(C) Educational institutions should cease to grant degrees and certificates. -> Not discussed here. So OOS.
(D) Degrees and certificates do not guarantee that a person has acquired much worthwhile knowledge. -> This is what discussed here, that is degree and certificates do not guarantee knowledge. Read they are getting this degree without ever learning much of value
(E) A person benefits from an education only to the extent that he or she invests effort in it. -> Not discussed. OOS
