Fewer elected officials are supporting environmental legislation this year than at any time in the last decade. In a study of 30 elected officials, only five were actively campaigning for new environmental legislation. This comes at a time when the public’s concern for the environment is growing by leaps and bounds.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the passage above?
A. More elected officials are needed to support environmental legislation.
With the information provided in the passage we do not know how many elected officials are required to support environmental legislation. It could be true that five or even less elected officials are enough to support new environmental legislation or we might need more than five, but we can't be sure with the given information. The passage neither explicitly states nor it suggests anything like that.
B. Elected officials have lost touch with the concerns of the public.
Again, this could be true but we can't be sure with the given information. From the passage we only know about one instance in which it seems that elected officials have lost touch with the public’s concern for the environment. But this option is saying that elected officials have lost touch with the CONCERNS of the public. It is generalizing from one instance. The passage neither explicitly states nor it suggests anything like that. Thus, it is not supported by the passage.
C. The five elected officials who actively campaigned for new environmental legislation should be congratulated.
The passage neither explicitly states nor it suggests anything like that. Thus, it is not supported by the passage.
D. If the environment is to be saved, elected officials must support environmental legislation.
The passage neither explicitly states nor it suggests anything like that. There could be many other ways to save the environment. Thus, it is not supported by the passage.
E. If elected officials are truly to represent their constituents, many of them must increase their support of environmental legislation.
The entire passage supports this. If fewer elected officials are supporting environmental legislation this year and currently the public’s concern for the environment is growing then it must be true that many of the elected officials are not truly representing their constituents. Hence, E

E is the best answer choice. A, C & D can be eliminated clearly as they are just not close to what passage says. We can't say B as we don't know if in previous years people and politicians were going hand in hand. So, for me E is the best choice among all the others.
