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 sufficient 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
Note: There are two questions available with the similar stimulus and same first line but different question. The other question (complete the argument) is discussed in: LINK

I would like to add my few cents as I have discussed this questions before :
Quote:
General Thinking: As popularity of computer increases ---> TV viewing would decrease
Why such a thought?
Quote:
increasing amounts of free time on the computer.
>> People have same amount of time == either spend on TV (X) or spend on computer(Y) . As computer popularity increase, Time on TV is going to be reduced.
Conclusion is based on this thought . Total = X+ Y ( As Y increases X decreases)
Quote:
Assumption is FALSE: it means the thought: People have same amount of time COULD BE WRONG--my first thought why assumption could be wrong.
Quote:
Here it is same explanation: X is same , even Y increases.
Quote:
which statement can give some more clarity on Total = X + Y in order to decide that assumption is really Wrong or right.
Quote:
So E says T is same : X remain same but Y increases in other set which may doesn't affect total T. However Y still indicates that it is popularity.
I have less challenges to option E as compared to other options.
Evaluation means : YES or NO can bring the results in extreme conditions
YES: Assumption stays FALSE: keeps the argument
NO: Assumption become true : breaks the argument
See your question again:
Quote:
Y' has nothing to do with X and thus not with T. But as Y' increases , I get the message : computer Popularity increases. As X stays same: I get the message that X doesn't fall down.
Before: X fall down as computer popularity increases.
Now with E: X stay same even popularity increases .
It is helpful?

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 sufficient 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.
First step, Read the question stimulus very carefully,
Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in order to evaluate the argument?
Second step, deconstruct the argument in yours words:
rise the computer-based activities result in a decline in television viewing, but why?
it is assumed that people use more free time on the computer rather than spending television viewing,
The above assumption is false, but why? A recent survey related to media use found that a large majority
of respondents who report increasing time spent per week using computer report no change in time spent watching television
Third Step: find the conclusion of the argument
Conclusion: The above assumption is false. a recent survey is just to support the author's claim.
Fouth Step: Wrong to Right
What if respondents lie about their time spent on the computer per week(maybe more on watching television or the same amount of time spent on both)
What if respondents spent their time on other activities more than a computer? let's see the option choices
Fifth Step: Read each option choice very clearly and precisely
(A) Whether a large majority of the survey respondents reported watching television regularly
we are here concerned about respondents who report increasing time spent. In this option, choices don't clearly say how many hours they spent on watching
television. For example, I daily visit the GMATClub to solve a Verbal OG problem. But it doesn't tell how many hours I spent solving The OG problem
may be one hour or two-hour. similarly, a large majority of the survey respondents don't tell us how many hours they spent watching television
regularly. we can assume any hours here. that's why option choice (a) is wrong.
(B) Whether the amount of time spent watching television is declining among people who report that they rarely or never use computers
it is out of context.
(C) Whether the type of television programs a person watches tends to change as the amount of time spent per week using computers increases
we aren't concerned with the television programs a person watches.
(D) Whether a large majority of the computer owners in the survey reported spending increasing amounts of time per week using computers
spending increasing amounts of time doesn't mean how many hours increase to watching TV. Same as(a)
(E) Whether the survey respondents' reports of time spent using computers included time spent using computers at work
if yes, survey respondents' reports of time spent using computers included time spent using computers at work. It weakens the author's argument.
If No, survey respondents' reports of time spent using computers didn't include time spent using computers at work. it strengthens the argument.
