The officials in Town X have suggested that the proceeds from the recent benefit concert be used to repave the streets in the downtown area. When this decision is voted upon in the fall, a majority of the town's citizens are expected to approve this allocation of funds. After all, according to a recent survey, most citizens are in favor of improvements that will benefit local merchants.
Which of the following choices is NOT an assumption that is being made by the author?
A. Well-paved streets near local merchants benefit their businesses.
B. The citizens do not feel that the money is better spent on other town improvements.
C. Local merchants have stores in the downtown area.
D. Streets in highly traveled areas need to be repaved periodically.
E. The people recently surveyed accurately represent the opinions of those who will vote on the repaving decision

I am not sure if this question is in line with the Gmat types of questions.
Nevertheless, to find the correct answer I will be checking if the options are one of the assumptions required for the conclusion to hold.
If it's an assumption it's out.
A. Well-paved streets near local merchants benefit their businesses.
Definitely, an assumption for the conclusion to hold.
B. The citizens do not feel that the money is better spent on other town improvements.
Yup, an assumption.
C. Local merchants have stores in the downtown area.
Bingo, assumption.
D. Streets in highly traveled areas need to be repaved periodically.
Nope, that's not an assumption for the conclusion to hold. We got our answer.
E. The people recently surveyed accurately represent the opinions of those who will vote on the repaving decision
Assumption again.
