The essayist's statements, if true, ████ ████████ ███████ █████ ███ ██ ███ ██████████
a
The existence of █████████ ██████████ ██████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ ███ ██ ███████ ██████████
This is too strong to support. The stimulus only says that embarrassed hypocrites try to better themselves once hypocrisy is exposed.
b
The existence of █████████ ██████████ ██████ ██ ████ ███████ ██ ████ ██ █████ ██████████
The stimulus details that some people will strive to become more morally virtuous whether hypocrisy is exposed or not. Thus, this is easily supported

The stimulus does not say anything about when people fall into moral lapses.
d
The hiding of █████████ ██ █ ██████ ███ ██ ██████████ ██████ ██ ███ ██ ██ ████ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ██ ███
This comparative statement does not receive enough support. The stimulus does not say one approach is better than the other.
e
There is no ████████ █████████ ███ ██████ ██ ███ ██ ██ ████ ████ ███ ████████ ██ ██████████
