Passage Summary: A critic argues that if writers followed the advice to stop making bad characters likable, their stories would no longer be realistic.

Conclusion: Following Samuel Johnson's advice would result in unrealistic works of fiction.

Reasoning: Johnson suggests that writers should not give attractive qualities to immoral characters to prevent readers from emulating them.

Analysis: There is a clear gap between the act of giving immoral characters attractive qualities and the concept of 'realism.' To bridge this gap and guarantee the conclusion, the argument needs to assume that in the real world, immoral people actually do possess attractive qualities. Look for an answer that connects the presence of these traits in immoral people to the necessity of including them for a story to be considered realistic.
