The current trend toward specialization in nearly all occupational groups is exactly the opposite of what the educational system needs. World problems now a days are so diverse, complex, and interrelated that only the generalist stands a chance of understanding the broad picture. Unless our schools stress a truly broad, liberal education, the world will guide around us as we each expertly perform our own narrow function.
Each of the following, if true, would weakend he conclusion drawn above EXCEPT:

  • Many of the world’s problems can be solved only be highly specialized experts
  • Relatively few generalists are needed to coordinate the work of the many specialists.
  • Specialization does not necessarily entail losing the ability to see the broad picture.
  • Even the traditional liberal education is becoming more highly specialized today.

d option is also weakening the conclusion then how is d correct?

The last option further strengthen the point made by the author by showing that specialization is being given due importance in the traditional education system as well. Hence, the author view is further strengthened.
