Nearly everybody who is serving a sentence in a British prison watched more than an hour of television in childhood. Therefore, we may assume that watching television in childhood encourages criminal behaviour.
Which of the following facts, if true, would most damage the conclusion drawn?
1. Many children continue to watch television when they become adults.
2. Modern British prisons provide television viewing to the prisoners.
3. The majority of people who have not been convicted of crimes also watched a great deal of television in childhood.
4. Some people who did not watch television in childhood have been sent to prison.
5. Some television programs aimed at children contain moral messages and encourage good behaviour.

C for me. It is the only one that directly attacks the premise that watching TV as a child will put you in prison.

Irrelevant - conclusion is that watching TV as kids lead to criminal behavior. Continued TV watching has not relevance in the statement 1. Many children continue to watch television when they become adults.
Again. Irrelevant. Conclusion is based on watching TV as kids 2. Modern British prisons provide television viewing to the prisoners.
Breaks the conclusion by saying that there are people who are not criminals and who had watched TV as kids. Opposed the assumption used to reach to conclusion (Assumption - watching TV as a kid will make you a criminal) 3. The majority of people who have not been convicted of crimes also watched a great deal of television in childhood.
Possible, but irrelevant in this case. Conclusion is all those who watched TV will become criminals. Nothing has been said about ppl who didn't watch TV 4. Some people who did not watch television in childhood have been sent to prison.
Irrelevant. Nothing has been said about the kind of programs. 5. Some television programs aimed at children contain moral messages and encourage good behaviour.
