Answer 1

The statement that best explains the reason for the dramatic increase in degrees conferred between 1939 and 1950 is:

The number of degrees awarded sharply increased due to the passage of the G.I. Bill of Rights.

The G.I. Bill, enacted in 1944, provided various benefits to returning World War II veterans, including financial assistance for education, which contributed to a significant rise in the number of degrees awarded during that period.
