A. It should be suggested that voters attend media literacy courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in interpreting public information -> not relevant
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 -> not relevant
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 -> Right, because there will be reliable and unreliable source of information on media that young adults who media illiterate than older people need to differentiate them.
D. If young people are not to be influenced by propagandists, they must increase their understanding of journalism -> not relevant
E. When researching political candidates, young people tend to confuse reasonably accurate reporting with unrealistic ideals. -> not relevant

Answer: C
Premises
Assumptions
Answer Choices
A. It should be suggested that voters attend media literacy courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in interpreting public information.
Out of scope. The argument does not suggest courses anywhere in the statement and this answer choice is a plan that does not arrive at a conclusion that uses the logical reasoning mention in the argument.
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.
Again. Out of scope. The argument does not suggest educational curriculum anywhere in the statement and this answer choice is a plan that does not arrive at a conclusion that uses the logical reasoning mention in the argument.
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.
With the list of the three assumptions pointed out above, it becomes almost a no-brainer that the conclusion is a logical flow from all their statements. Notice that it stay within bounds, alluding to the connection of young adults, political actors, media illiteracy and the differentiation between reliable and unreliable sources.
D. If young people are not to be influenced by propagandists, they must increase their understanding of journalism.
Again. Out of scope. The argument does not suggest understanding of journalism anywhere in the statement and this answer choice is a plan that does not arrive at a conclusion that uses the logical reasoning mention in the argument.
E. When researching political candidates, young people tend to confuse reasonably accurate reporting with unrealistic ideals.
While alluding to the confusion of young people in their research for political actors, and using similar wording, it then introduces a new term unrealistic ideals, that is nowhere stated in the argument. And therefore is Out of Scope. This is a common misdirection tactic in CR questions.
Premises
- The public’s ability to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources of information is getting worse
- Young adults are more likely to be media illiterate than somewhat older adults
- Political actors will increasingly make use of biased media outlets to sway elections in their favor
Assumptions
- Being media illiterate is correlated with not being able to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources.
- Political actors will take advantage of this media illiteracy for their political gain.
- Young adults are more at risk of being taken advantage of political actors.

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.
Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?
A. It should be suggested that voters attend media literacy courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in interpreting public information.
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.
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.
D. If young people are not to be influenced by propagandists, they must increase their understanding of journalism.
E. When researching political candidates, young people tend to confuse reasonably accurate reporting with unrealistic ideals.
Final Answer: C
The premise leading upto the final statement revolve around how young adults despite freshly out of education, are less literate than adults, and politicians will increasingly take advantage of this, suggesting measures need to be taken for young adults.
A: Does not follow on the premise, plus taking a course does not mean they will be able to vote properly/not get influenced.
B: Similar to above, Instructions handed out need not conclude on young adults being able to take better voting decisions.
C: It perfectly summarizes the pointers mentioned in the paragraph, and what the author is trying to say.
D: Journalism? No where mentioned.
E: Does not talk about candidates actively researching about politics.
