All unemployed artists are sympathetic to social justice. And no employed artists are interested in the prospect of great personal fame.

Summary
Every employed artist is not interested in the prospect of great personal fame. And all unemployed artists are sympathetic to social justice.

Notable Valid Inferences
Artists interested in the prospect of great personal fame are also sympathetic to social justice.

A
If there are artists interested in the prospect of great personal fame, they are sympathetic to social justice.
Must be true. As shown below, we can take the contrapositive of the second statement in the stimulus and chain it with the first statement.
B
All artists uninterested in the prospect of great personal fame are sympathetic to social justice.
Could be false. We don’t have any information in the stimulus about uninterested artists.
C
Every unemployed artist is interested in the prospect of great personal fame.
Could be false. This answer choice confuses sufficiency for necessity. As shown on our diagram, we know that all interested artists are unemployed, but we don’t know if all unemployed artists are interested.
D
If an artist is sympathetic to social justice, that artist is unemployed.
Could be false. This answer choice confuses sufficiency for necessity. As shown on our diagram, we know that all unemployed artists are sympathetic, but we don’t know if all sympathetic artists are unemployed.
E
All artists are either sympathetic to social justice or are interested in the prospect of great personal fame.
Could be false. As shown on our diagram, we know all interested artists are also sympathetic.
