One more question
Many thanks for your kind and detailed explanation.
As for the word "only" could you please give me one more lesson by explaining the difference between "only" in the stimulus and "only foolish..." In choice(B)?

Sure. In the stimulus, you are trying to diagram "Only a minority of those who engage in political action do so out of a sense of social justice." This doesn't make sense because we do not know something about every person who engages in political action. Rather we only know something about a minority of them.
In (B), the statement is "only foolish politicians disregard the wishes of most voters." This information tells us something about every person who disregards the wishes of most voters, i.e. that they are foolish politicians. As such, we can diagram this statement as follows:
DWMV ==> FP not FP ==> not DWMV
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you need any further clarification.

Now I understand such an esoteric concept of "only" ^^ I really appreciate your help, seriously. I should have gotten to know LSAT Max.
