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

OA E?

Conservatives oppose government regulation in business, but paradoxically, they want govt regulation in private morality.

Definitely E. Look for clues in the argument as to which "direction" the correct continuation of the argument should take.

In the first part of the argument, conservatives are against government involvement in regulation of business. The word 'Paradoxically' then creates a change in direction, so we expect the right answer choice to bring the opposite case - one where the conservatives are acdtually asking the government to get involved. E provides this continuation.

It should be E only... other options don't show any paradox in the conservatives stand on economical and social issue.
Statement says :- conservatives need less control on economic issues and paradoxically conservative needs...

so only E fits the bill.
