The given situation states that, the college is planning to hold weekly events where professionals from different industries will come and give talks. These talks are designed to share practical, real-life knowledge about the current trends in their fields, offer career advice, and help students understand how what they learn in class applies in the real world. Additionally, after each talk, there will be a quiz. The purpose of the quiz is to keep students engaged, make sure they are participating actively, and help them check how well they've understood the information presented during the session.
Option (a) shows that these sessions are a great chance for students to meet industry experts, learn about current trends and real-life applications, and explore potential career paths.
Option (d) highlights that the weekly quizzes are a smart way to check if students are really understanding and retaining what they learn.
Thus, both options (a) and (d) strengthen the statement.
Options (b) and (c) weaken the statement by focusing on financial concerns rather than the benefits of the sessions.
