Over the last five years, demand for introductory-level philosophy courses at Inagua College has increased significantly, as has the number of students across the country who choose to major in philosophy. These trends are projected to continue for the next several years. In response, Inagua College is considering a plan to stop hiring professors in other fields and hire only philosophy professors in order to attract more students to the college.
Which of the following would it be most useful for Inagua College to know in evaluating the plan it is considering?
(A) Whether the number of philosophers awarded doctorates is expected to grow in the next several years
(B) Whether availability of philosophy courses has an effect on potential students' decisions regarding where they will attend college
(C) Whether demand for post-secondary education in Inagua is likely to increase in the near future
(D) Whether the increased demand for philosophy courses, if met, is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for courses in related fields, such as logic
(E) Whether, on average, newly-hired philosophy professors are as highly-rated by students as the professors currently teaching philosophy classes at Inagua College

We need to evaluate a plan - “ In response, Inagua College is considering a plan to stop hiring professors in other fields and hire only philosophy professors in order to attract more students to the college.“
The college has a plan to stop hiring professors of other fields and keep hiring more philosophy professors. By doing so, they want to attract more students to the college.
Let’s first look into the reasons, why they have chosen a plan.
Over the last five years, the college has seen an upward trend - the demand for introductory level philosophy courses at Inagua college has increased significantly as has the number of students who choose major in philosophy.
The difference between introductory courses and a major in philosophy lies in their scope, depth, and purpose.
lets sum it up altogether.
The students enrolling for introductory philosophy courses at Inagua college is showing upward trend. There seems to be a strong positive correlation on the number of students opting for majors in philosophy. So, by hiring more teachers for philosophy subjects, they can fulfill the demand from students in introductory levels. Thereby, attracting potential students to enroll in college.
If a college, cannot provide courses on philosophy, then the students might look for other colleges where the subject is taught.
(A) Whether the number of philosophers awarded doctorates is expected to grow in the next several years.
Attracting new students vs doctoral students. Out of scope.
(B) Whether availability of philosophy courses has an effect on potential students' decisions regarding where they will attend college
If students choose colleges ONLY which has philosophy course the plan succeeds. If the student chooses colleges based on recent ranking, alumni reviews, return on investment, Infrastructure etc. Then the plan of hiring more philosophy professors is not a good idea. Hence option B
(C) Whether demand for post-secondary education in Inagua is likely to increase in the near future.
Irrelevant and out of scope.
(D) Whether the increased demand for philosophy courses, if met, is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for courses in related fields, such as logic
Introductory courses doesn’t provide any scope at the first instance for auxiliary branch studies. Hence, attracting potential students is the question we need to address. Out of scope.
(E) Whether, on average, newly-hired philosophy professors are as highly-rated by students as the professors currently teaching philosophy classes at Inagua College.
High rating of teachers even though is paramount for a college in educating students and in their retention. Attracting potential students is entirely a different ball game. Hence Not supporting to evaluate the plan.
