Section DRead this paragraph and answer the two questions below. The globalisation of economies and ease of travel have led to a growing interest in international student exchange. Formal programs have existed for decades, and therefore, many universities have culturally and ethnically diverse student populations, who see relocation as an investment to enrich their future careers. Exchange opportunities provide students with new experiences, which can result in a boost to their self-confidence. Research funding and status are two reasons for university administrators to recruit exchange students. A survey of administrators of international campus-based students shows that exchange students are recruited for their varied backgrounds and points of view. The amount of diversity at universities differs greatly by country and institution. For some, an intake of ethnic minorities, or students over the age of 25 is unusual. For others, women have broken the barriers to what were all-male courses of study. What is certain, however, is that quality exchange-student programs are a worldwide and growing phenomenon. Questions 10 -11. Choose a, b, c, or d as the best answer. 10. Why are universities keen to attract exchange students according to the text?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The passage explicitly says administrators “recruit exchange students for their varied backgrounds and points of view,” which is a direct statement that universities seek exchange students to increase diversity.

Relevant knowledge points and concepts:
- Literal comprehension of explicit statements in a short passage.
- Definition of diversity in a university context: varied cultural, ethnic, age, gender, and viewpoint backgrounds among students.
- Process of eliminating answer choices that are not supported by the text.

Step-by-step reasoning:
1. Locate the sentence about why administrators recruit exchange students: “A survey of administrators of international campus-based students shows that exchange students are recruited for their varied backgrounds and points of view.” This links recruitment to diversity (varied backgrounds/points of view).
2. Compare that explicit reason to each multiple-choice option:
   - (c) “To provide diversity” directly matches “varied backgrounds and points of view.”
   - (b) “To generate income” is not stated; the passage mentions “research funding and status” as reasons, but not income generation from exchange students.
   - (a) “To enhance their quality” is vague and not directly asserted; while the passage mentions research funding and status, it does not claim recruitment is primarily to improve overall quality.
   - (d) “To reach their goals” is too general and unsupported; the text gives specific reasons rather than a generic “reach their goals.”

Why the correct answer is correct:
The phrasing “varied backgrounds and points of view” is synonymous with diversity. The passage gives this as an explicit reason administrators recruit exchange students, so option (c) exactly captures the stated motive.

Why other options are incorrect:
- (a) Not explicitly supported; “quality” is not named as the recruitment motive.
- (b) No mention of generating income.
- (d) Too vague and not stated.

Conclusion: The best answer is c. To provide diversity. This matches the provided correct answer.
