James: Community colleges, by their very nature, work to meet the educational needs of the communities they are in. The same is not true of universities, whose primary goals differ from those of community colleges.
Margaret: A primary goal of any university is to serve the needs of the community where it is located. The main reason people have for attending a university is the same as that for attending a community college: preparing oneself for a career.
James's and Margaret's statements provide the most support for the claim that they disagree over the truth of which one of the following?
(A) primary goal of any university is to serve the educational needs of its community.
(B) Most universities adequately serve the educational needs of the communities in which they are located.
(C) The main reason people have for attending a university is to prepare themselves for a career.
(D) In a typical community, the primary educational need is to prepare community residents for careers.
(E) The main reason people have for attending a university is the same as the main reason people have for attending a community college.

James's and Margaret's statements provide the most support for the claim that they disagree over the truth of which one of the following?
The key is that James denies that universities have the same kind of community-serving educational goal that community colleges have, while Margaret says that serving the community is a primary goal of any university.
(A) A primary goal of any university is to serve the educational needs of its community.
This is the best answer. James says community colleges meet the educational needs of their communities, but that the same is not true of universities. Margaret says a primary goal of any university is to serve the needs of its community. So this is the point of disagreement.
(B) Most universities adequately serve the educational needs of the communities in which they are located.
Neither speaker says anything about whether most universities do this adequately.
(C) The main reason people have for attending a university is to prepare themselves for a career.
Margaret clearly agrees, but James says nothing about this.
(D) In a typical community, the primary educational need is to prepare community residents for careers.
Neither speaker makes this claim.
(E) The main reason people have for attending a university is the same as the main reason people have for attending a community college.
Margaret says yes, but James does not address this.
