A child watching television experiences a procession of sights and sounds that flash from the screen just long enough for the eyes and ears to take them in. Unlike the pages of a book, which can be read as slowly or as quickly as the child wishes, television images appear with a relentless velocity that stunts rather than enhance the child's powers of imagination.
The view expressed above is based on an assumption. Of the following, which can best serve as that assumption?
(A) When allowed to choose a form of entertainment, children will prefer reading to watching television.
(B) A child's imagination cannot be properly stimulated unless the child has access both to television and to books.
(C) A child's imagination can develop more fully when the chil~ is able to control the pace of its entertainment.
(D) Children should be taught to read as soon as they are able to understand what they see on television.
(E) A child's reaction to different forms of sensory stimuli cannot be predicted, since every child is different.

The right answer here is C. This question is essentially asking us to find the assumption that leads to the conclusion, so we must first establish what that conclusion is. In this case, it is that "television images appear with a relentless velocity that stunts rather than enhance the child's powers of imagination". This conclusion is addressed as a contrast to the situation with books, which "can be read as slowly or as quickly as the child wishes". Hence, we have to find something that links speed of content consumption with imagination.
A - This does not tell us anything about imagination. It is irrelevant and OUT
B - If this is true, it actually suggests that the conclusion is NOT true. OUT
C - This option actually suggests that pace of consumption helps imagination. This statement being true is the bridge between the main premise and conclusion, and is therefore CORRECT.
D - This statement being true has no impact on the argument. It is also a common type of assumption question trap; you get a statement that leaves you questioning whether it is true as opposed to how this this being true affect the conclusion. OUT
E - If this is true, it actually makes it less likely that the conclusion makes sense. OUT
