Note the question! The question asks for the best introduction for the topic of this paragraph, so it's testing consistency of ideas. The previous paragraph left off in the 1960s. This paragraph introduces 2008 and discusses how the bill was expanded. The correct answer will be consistent with the bill in more recent times. The paragraph indicates that the bill continued to get better, so eliminate (A). The benefits of the bill continue to this day is consistent, so keep (B). G.I.s and their degrees is not consistent, so eliminate (C). The home subsidy is not consistent, so eliminate (D). The correct answer is (B).
