Regarding D, please

Hi So regarding D and based on the explanation offered, the word "so" in the stimulus is superseded by the conjunction "and," that came before it, in that what followed "so" is NOT an independent conclusion triggered by SOLELY by the capability of empathizing with people who have goals completely different... In other words, what followed "so" is not a conclusion guaranteed by what came before it, but rather is one of two parts of the necessary conclusion(s) triggered by the sufficient condition popular novelist (or such a writer). Correct? The last sentence inn the stimulus states: "Such a writer also will be capable of empathizing with people who have goals completely different from his or her own AND SO will have some doubts about the genuine value of his or her own desires." However, what if the last sentence was broken into two sentences separated by a period that read as follows, "Such a writer also will be capable of empathizing with people who have goals completely different from his or her own. AND SO such a writer will have some doubts about the genuine value of his or her own desires," then how would the logic be diagrammed as? Still two necessaries guaranteed by the sufficient condition a popular novelist? Please and Thank You Mazen
