Essayist: Many people are hypocritical in that they often pretend to be more morally upright than they really are. When hypocrisy is exposed, hypocrites are embarrassed by their moral lapse, which motivates them and others to try to become better people. On the other hand, when hypocrisy persists without exposure, the belief that most people are good is fostered, which motivates most people to try to be good.The essayist’s statements, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?
(A) The existence of hypocrisy encourages people to believe that no one is morally blameless.
(B) The existence of hypocrisy encourages people to make efforts to live by moral standards.
(C) The existence of hypocrisy in some people encourages others to fall into moral lapses.
(D) The hiding of hypocrisy is a better way of motivating people to try to be good than is the exposing of it.
(E) There is no stronger motivator for people to try to be good than the exposing of hypocrisy.

Essayist mentions 2 circumstances, both of which lead to motivating people to become better people.
The argument does not talk about the points discussed in options A, C, D and E. Point mentioned in B can be inferred from the text. hence B
