StrengthenDiff: Easy

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: College is better now because history classes actually cover the whole world instead of just a few regions like they used to.

Conclusion: Modern university educations are more comprehensive and globally diverse than they were in the past.

Reasoning: History departments have moved away from narrow curricula that ignored Africa, Asia, and indigenous American cultures in favor of more inclusive content.

Analysis: The argument uses a specific change in history departments to support a very broad conclusion about 'most universities' and 'education' as a whole. To strengthen this inductive leap, we need evidence that the history department is not an isolated case. If other disciplines, such as literature or sociology, have undergone similar shifts toward 'cosmopolitan' content, the conclusion becomes much more plausible. Look for an answer that suggests the trend seen in history courses is representative of a university-wide change.
