The school has always been the most important means of transferring the wealth of tradition form one generation to the next. This applies today in an even higher degree than in former times for, through the modern development of economy, the family as bearer of tradition and education has become weakened. 

This passage best supports the statement that for transferring the wealth of tradition from one generation to the next -

 

  • A.there are means other than the school.
  • B.several different sources must be tried.
  • C.economic development plays a crucial role.
  • D.modern technology must be put to use.
  • E.family, as ever, is the most potent means.

Answer: C

Correct answer: economic development plays a crucial role

The passage gives one reason why the school matters more today than before: through the modern development of the economy, the family as a bearer of tradition has been weakened. Economic change is therefore the force that has shifted the burden of transmission from the family to the school - it plays a crucial role, though an indirect one. The other options all contradict the passage, which names the school as the most important means and the family as weakened.
