The growing popularity of computer-based activities was widely expected to result in a decline in television
viewing, since it had been assumed that people lack suffi cient free time to maintain current television-viewing
levels while spending increasing amounts of free time on the computer. That assumption, however, is evidently
false: In a recent mail survey concerning media use, a very large majority of respondents who report increasing
time spent per week using computers report no change in time spent watching television.
Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in order to evaluate the argument?
(A) Whether a large majority of the survey respondents reported watching television regularly
(B) Whether the amount of time spent watching television is declining among people who report that they
rarely or never use computers
(C) Whether the type of television programs a person watches tends to change as the amount of time spent
per week using computers increases
(D) Whether a large majority of the computer owners in the survey reported spending increasing amounts of
time per week using computers
(E) Whether the survey respondents’ reports of time spent using computers included time spent using
computers at work
(answerE)
这题的题型出现的不多，我总觉得E引入了新的问题，和原文关系不大。。。请大牛分析一下，这题整体上都不知道怎么做。。。

题目前面提出的现象是人们玩电脑多了看电视少了，因为人们把空闲的时间都用在了玩电脑上。
后面否定这个假设：一个调查显示许多人虽然每周用电脑的时间增多了，但是看电视的时间并没有减少。
这个否定本身就是有漏洞的，因为前面的对现象的解释是仅仅研究了free time，而否定言论是 increasing
