The sentence states that the new administration emphasized arts and trades, moving away from traditional subjects. This implies that arts and trades were previously not considered the foundation of an education.
Let's look at the options:
- A. crucial: If arts and trades were previously considered crucial, emphasizing them wouldn't be a transition from traditional subjects.
- B. compulsory: Similar to crucial, if they were compulsory, it wouldn't be a shift.
- C. massive: This doesn't fit the context of how subjects are considered in an educational foundation.
- D. dominant: If arts and trades were dominant, there'd be no "furthering the transition" away from traditional subjects.
- E. inappropriate: This fits perfectly. If arts and trades were previously considered "inappropriate" as the foundation of an education, then the new administration's emphasis on them represents a significant shift or "transition" away from the traditional view.
The correct answer is E. inappropriate.
