An argument claims that because 70% of students in one particular university's engineering program favor a new curriculum, all university students nationwide would favor it. The most significant unstated assumption is about:

A The overall cost-effectiveness of the new curriculum.
B The relevance of engineering students' opinions to all university students.
C The long-term academic benefits of the new curriculum.
D The faculty's ability to implement the new curriculum.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The argument assumes that the specific sample (engineering students from one university) is representative of a much broader population (all university students nationwide), which is often a flawed assumption.
