Which of the following best completes the passage below?
In opposing government regulation of business, conservatives often appeal to the Jeffersonian ideal of limited government, expressing the wish that government would “get off the backs of the American people.” Yet, paradoxically, many of these same conservatives address questions of private morality, such as those dealing with sexual behavior, by calling for______
(A) a return to the restrictive sexual morality of the Victorian era
(B) a strengthening of the role of the family in setting moral norms for society
(C) a limitation on the amount of sexually provocative material appearing in books, motives, and television shows
(D) greater freedom for individuals to choose their own way of handling sexual issues
(E) an increased governmental role in the regulation and control of private sexual behavior
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

(E) is correct.

On argument completion questions, there's almost always a key word that tells you the direction in which to go.

In this example, "yet" is our keyword buddy. Paraphrasing the argument:

"Some people want limited government interference, YET..."

We can predict that after the "yet" we'll get the opposite of what came before. Therefore, the correct answer will talk about MORE government interference, which leads us directly to (e).

(e) is the only answer that focuses on government interference. For (a) and (c), it's just restrictiveness in general.
