Data collected on married couples in the U.S. show that couples who lived together before marriage tend to view their marriages as more passionate than those who did not live together. Based on this finding, a psychologist has suggested that couples who did not reside together before marriage are more likely to divorce than their peers who lived together.
The psychologist's conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. Divorce is less common among couples who see their relationships as passionate.
B. Couples who live together tend to be more serious about marriage and less likely to divorce.
C. Perception of passion is one of many factors that can predict divorce rates.
D. The U.S. divorce rate has been increasingly steadily over the past decade.
E. Couples often stay in relationships despite a lack of passion.
