Irrelevant sentences are those sentences that have no use in the passage they are put or inserted in. In other words, irrelevant sentences are those sentences that can be removed without changing the meaning or intention of the author or passage.

In the given passage, the speaker talks about the declining importance of Math and Science in the British education system. Amidst the failing high school curriculum, the inclusion of the statement "In the short term, it may be necessary to make use of the universities' resources" is unnecessary as it does not add or take away any meaning or importance to the whole passage.

Thus, the correct answer is option B (sentence III).

The irrelevant sentence in the paragraph provided that should be removed from the passage is sentence III. (option B)

Why is sentence III irrelevant?

To understand which sentence is irrelevant, we must identify the topic or subject of the paragraph, that is, what the paragraph is about. This particular paragraph is about the fact that students are losing interest in Math and Science, which will end up causing changes in curriculum and course planning.

For that reason, sentence III is the one we can choose as irrelevant. It is not directly related to the topic - at least, not in this paragraph. It mentions universities' resources, but does not connect this idea to the others.
