Answer

B
Celebrity stylist Johan Blizeck says, "Every celebrity has flaws. They only appear to be perfect because they have lots of professional help."
C
An anonymous celebrity said, "I don’t want to be role model and I never tried to be one. I just want to make money."
D
Examples of celebrities whom kids look up to include professional athletes, movie actors and actresses, models, and musicians.
Explanation
The excerpt argues that a celebrity’s seemingly perfect image is manufactured with professional help. Choice B directly supports that claim: a celebrity stylist explains that celebrities have flaws and appear perfect because they receive professional help. The other choices discuss who kids admire or what celebrities think about being role models, not how a celebrity image is created.
