The author doesn’t indicate that these legislators wanted to remove aspects of education from the public school curriculum.

There’s no evidence these legislators were unaware of the difficulties faced by earlier legislators. The 1880s legislators recalled the earlier proposals that weren’t successful, so there’s a reasonable chance they actually were aware of the difficulties in getting the earlier legislation passed.

Supported, because we know they abolished fees for education. This is evidence they cared about improving access to education among the lower economic classes.

Not supported, because the author never compares the 1880 legislators’ willingness to compromise to the earlier legislators’. Although the 1880s legislators were able to get legislation passed, the author never suggests that this was in part a result of political compromise.

There’s no evidence the 1880s legislators were more open to giving religious authorities a role in education. The author doesn’t say anything about the 1880s legislators and their relationship to or opinion about religion.
