A. It should be suggested that voters attend media literacy courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in interpreting public information.
Conclusion is not supported. This is a recommendation but the argument does not talk about what should be done.
B. Instruction in how to evaluate the veracity of an information source should be made a required part of the educational curriculum, both public and private.
Conclusion is not supported.This is a recommendation but the argument does not talk about what should be done.
C. If all young people are to make informed voting decisions, many of them must learn how to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information.
Conclusion is not supported. It supports that if young people are to make informed decisions, they would indeed need to improve their media literacy. Its a conditional statement and not a recommendation based on the given premises which say
1. Young people are media illiterate 2. Biased media are used to sway voters
D. If young people are not to be influenced by propagandists, they must increase their understanding of journalism.
Conclusion is not supported. This introduces the term “understanding of journalism” which is not explicitly mentioned in the passage.The passage talks about media literacy, not specifically about journalism as a profession.
E. When researching political candidates, young people tend to confuse reasonably accurate reporting with unrealistic ideals.
Conclusion is not supported. This is a very specific behavioral claim that is not made anywhere in the passage.
So the solution is C.

C is a potential conclusion from the statements: If all young people are to make informed voting decisions, many of them must learn how to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information.
The public’s ability to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information is getting worse. Young adults in early twenties, just having completed their formal education, are more likely to be media illiterate than somewhat older adults. And yet, political actors will increasingly make use of biased media outlets to sway elections in their favor.
The statements show how young people seem to not be reliable in terms of making informed decisions, hence likely to be swayed by biased media outlets for voting. The option C, directly addresses this and tells us that if the young people want to make informed voting decisions, they need to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information

For inference question, I often list out all the facts to connect the dots. In this case, there are three facts following three sentences
Choice A & B: Due to fact 3, this choice sounds reasonable. However, "voters" and "required part....,both public and private" here is a broad scope that the author only intends for the young adults - induce from fact 2
Choice C: Sound okay - If the young adults don't learn to differentiate sources of information, they are probably not going to make informed voting decision (contrapositive form of the conditional statement) - This fit all three facts.
Choice D: "propagandist" & "journalism" are extreme for "political actor" & "media literate"
Choice E: is too far reaching. Young adults may not differentiate but that doesn't mean they are confused; and "ideals" are not mentioned
