Because it was long thought that few people would watch lengthy televised political messages, most televised political advertisements, like commercial advertisements, took the form of short messages. Last year, however, one candidate produced a half-hour-long advertisement. During the half hour the advertisement was aired, a substantial portion of the viewing public tuned into the advertisement. Clearly, then, many more people are interested in watching lengthy televised political messages than was previously thought.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The candidate’s ratings improved significantly as a result of the half-hour-long political advertisement.
(B) Political advertisements have become increasingly influential in determining voters’ decisions at the polls.
(C) Many people would appreciate the opportunity to become better acquainted with political candidates’ views on current political issues.
(D) Most people who are interested in political issues watch television regularly.
(E) Most of the viewers who tuned in to the candidate’s half-hour-long advertisement last year did not change channels after the first few minutes.

A. The candidate’s ratings improved significantly as a result of the half-hour-long political advertisement.--- not justifying the conclusion
B. Political advertisements have become increasingly influential in determining voters’ decisions at the polls.--- again same explaination
C. Many people would appreciate the opportunity to become better acquainted with political candidates’ views on current political issues. --- well people will show more intrest in knowing a candidate, but are they really using only advertisement for this, ambiguous !
D. Most people who are interested in political issues watch television regularly.--- again not making things clear.
E. Most of the viewers who tuned in to the candidate’s half-hour-long advertisement last year did not change channels after the first few minutes.--- people seems to be intrested in candidates half hour long ad., but again its last yr.
quiet confused between C and E.
still E seems a better option then C.

Answer is E
If someone has to air longer programme then they must be sure that people will watch it instead of either switching channel after few minutes or keeping TV while doing something else. If either of these happens then its clear tat people are not interested after few minutes.So assumption has to be that people will not switch channel after few minute and also will not just keep the TV ON while doing something else.
Kudos please, if it helped.
