［B］ enlarged the scope of education
［C］ was provided only to the poor
［D］ benefited all but the upper class
本题考查了事实细节。解此类题的关键是根据题干定位到原文。Land-grant College一词出现在第二段第二句话：国家赠予土地的学校的建立为那些来自非盎格鲁·萨克逊血统、工人阶级和中下层背景的贫穷但有抱负的男孩们敞开了享受高等教育的大门。由此可知，［B］项为正确答案。作者提到为穷人提供了更多的机会，却并没有将上层人士排除在外，也未曾说明只有穷人才能从中获益。因此［C］项和［D］项错误。［A］项中土地所有者阶级是由land-grant colleges一词字面意思得来，文中没有依据。
