A publisher is now providing university professors with the option of ordering custom textbooks for their courses. The professors can edit out those chapters of a book they are not interested in
and add material of their own choosing.
The widespread use of the option mentioned above is LEAST likely to contribute to fulfilling which of the following educational objectives?

(A) Coverage of material relevant to a particular student body’s specific needs
(B) Offering advanced elective courses that pursue in-depth investigation of selected topics in a
field
(C) Ensuring that students nationwide engaged in a specific course of study are uniformly
exposed to a basic set of readings
(D) Making the textbooks used in university courses more satisfactory from the individual
teacher’s point of view
(E) Keeping students’ interest in a course by offering lively, well-written reading assignments

clearly C because different university professors might keep different set of readings.. thus C is less likely to be the result of the act.

What type of question is this?

1 ) Drawing a conclusion

2) or something else.. what is it if it is something else?

Isn't [spoiler][C][/spoiler] Irrelevant to the present discussion?

Does that mean in LEAST type of questions we should pick answers that are either Irrelevant or weaken the question stimulus?

Would you categorize this question as Must Be True?
Want to Beat GMAT.
Always do what you're afraid to do. Whoooop GMAT
