Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage: In the past,degrees were very unusual in my family.I remember the day my uncle graduated.We had a huge party,and for many years my mother called him"the genius"and listened to his opinion.Today in comparison,five of my brothers and sisters have degrees,and two are studying for their masters'.However,some people think that this inceased access to deucation os devaluing degrees. People have serveral arguments against the need for degrees.They say that having so many garduates devalues a degree.People lose respect for the degree holder.It is even after years of studying.Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible.They kown a lot about one narrow subject,but are unable to apply their skills.Employers prefer more flexible and adaotable workers. However,I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.In the past education was only for the rich and powerful.Now it is available to everyone,and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual.First of all,it is impossible to be overeducated.The more people are educated,the better the world will be,because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas.A further point is that people with degrees have many more oppottunities.They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing,instead of being forced to take a job they dislike.Finally,a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country.It attracts foreign investment. In conclusion,although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education,I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability. The word"it"in the last sentence of Paragraph refers to"()".
A. deucaton
B. country
C. economy
D. workforce
