How will the right answer fit in terms of support and conclusion?

Only the right answer will be a conclusion guaranteed by support in the passage.

Highlight the main conclusion in the passage, if there is one:

There is no conclusion in the passage this time, since it’s going to be in the right answer.

[SUPPORT]. [SUPPORT]. [SUPPORT]. [SUPPORT].

What’s it all leading to? If you’re not sure, you know you can eliminate any answer that brings in something new the support doesn’t talk about, and any answer that uses stronger wording than the support uses. Valid conclusions don’t do those things.

Map the wording of the answers to the wording of the passage:

(A) …should require all celebrities to vote.

I can see how you’d get here from the passage, but there’s nothing in the passage about what “society should require”. Don’t read that into it just because it implies something bad about celebs not voting.

(B) One should vote only if…

The passage is clearly not supporting this requirement for whether someone should vote.

(C) …should not be widely respected.

The passage doesn’t give any support for whether certain people should or should not “be widely respected”.

(D) …celebrities who are not widely respected.

The passage doesn’t even say if these people exist. They’re not mentioned at all. If you thought they were, I’d challenge you to read more carefully. You can’t make a conclusion about a group that wasn’t mentioned.

(E) …should not publicly refrain from voting.

Why should we agree with this? Because these people are “widely emulated”, and there’ll be “serious harm” if people don’t vote, and “one should not do anything that has the potential to produce serious harm”. This is the conclusion that gets support from the passage.

(E) is the correct answer.

Common pattern/s in this question: When the right answer is a conclusion, it won’t bring in anything new or use stronger wording than the rest of the passage. There will be several prompts like this on any given section, so don’t worry about predicting anything and just get aggressive about mapping and eliminating.
