To support the academic efforts of its former students, the administration of a certain university has required its professors to use only papers published by former students as additional reading material. Because of this, the quality of the additional reading material has declined significantly, hampering the professors' efforts to teach effectively.

Which of the following can be inferred about the papers that would have been used as additional reading material had professors not been required to use graduates' papers?

1. Those papers were of better quality than the papers published by the university's former students
2. Those papers were written by the professors themselves.
3. Those papers were ones that had been used in the past at the university as additional reading material.
4. Those papers had been of increasingly high quality, resulting in a major educational crisis immediately following the new requirement.
5. Those papers had been used only intermittently, but they are necessary to the proper education of the university's students.

OPTION A:- CORRECT
The major point can be gotten from the former reading material being used is that , it is of a better quality than the paper published by the former students.
The quality of the additional reading material is said to have declined and hamper the professors' effort to teach effectively, which shows that the former paper is of better quality than the new ones.

OPTION B:- INCORRECT
If the papers were written by the professors themselves, there won't be need for additional reading materials and it won't be of low quality.

OPTION C:- INCORRECT
This is a known fact in the argument. and doesn't need to be a new fact that has just been deduced about the formal reading materials.

OPTION D:- INCORRECT
There is no significant argument to back this claim up, so we can't infer that the former papers were of increasingly high qualities nor can we conclude that prior to its change. there was a major educational crisis.

OPTION E:- INCORRECT
This is a known fact because the argument is more concerned about the quality of the reading materials and how the professor can use it to teach effectively which shows that it is necessary for the proper education of the university students.
