It is not uncommon for a child to be scared of a clown. In a recent survey, however, clowns reported that there was an abundance of work for them, especially at the birthday parties of children under the age of 3. It can be concluded that even though some children are scared of them, clowns are popular enough amongst the rest to provide them with regular work.
The above conclusion is properly drawn if which of the following is assumed?
A. Parents ask their children if they like clowns before hiring one for work at a party.
B. Children above the age of three prefer magicians at their birthday parties.
C. Being a clown is a well-paid profession in the entertainment industry.
D. The popularity of clowns depends highly on how they are presented by the media at the time.
E. The tradition of clowning has been developed over many years.

The answer should D.
Premise - Children are scared of clowns.
Conclusion - Clowns are popular enough to get abundant work especially at the birthday parties of children.
Gap: There must be something that is making parents hire clowns despite the fear of children.
Option A: Incorrect . If parents ask their children, they would certainly say no which means clowns get no work
Option B: Incorrect. We are talking about abundance of work for clowns and not children's preference. Out of scope
Option C: Incorrect. We are talking about abundance of work for clowns and not discussing about how well paid clowns are. Out of scope
Option D: Correct. If clowns are getting work despite the fear of children, their perception has been shaped by an external factor, which in this case is media.
Option E: Incorrect. The tradition of crowning being developed over the years doesn't explain why are they getting abundant work

A IMO - Parents ask their children if they like clowns before hiring one for work at a party.
Because if parents ask their children if they like clowns before hiring one for work at a party then it means those children are not scared of clowns and thus, it makes it more likely that clowns are popular amongst those children.
But if parents DO NOT ask their children if they like clowns before hiring one for work at a party then it means children don't have a say in it. They could still be afraid of clowns but it's the parents who hire them for their child's birthday party.
