B、 The Office of Vocational and Adult Education is a branch of the U. S. Dept. of Education.
C、 The American Association for Adult and Continuing Education was developed from the National Association.
D、 The U. S. Dept. of Education is responsible for the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 文章中提到多个机构，只要搞清楚他们之间的关系即可。从最后一段第二句under一词可以得知B)中涉及的两个机构是前者从属于后者，B)中a branch of与under同义。[避错指导] A)与第二段第四句正好相反；第二段第五句明确指出The American Association for Adult and Continuing Education是两个机构合并后产生的，C)只提及其中一个，故可排除；D)中两个机构之间没有直接的联系。
