When a group of children who have been watching television programs that include acts of violence is sent to play with a group of children who have been watching programs that do not include acts of violence, the children who have been watching violent programs commit a much greater number of violent acts in their play than do the children who have been watching nonviolent programs. Therefore, children at play can be prevented from committing violent acts by not being allowed to watch violence on television.
The argument in the passage assumes which one of the following?
(A) Television has a harmful effect on society.
(B) Parents are responsible for the acts of their children.
(C) Violent actions and passive observation of violent actions are not related.
(D) There are no other differences between the two groups of children that might account for the difference in violent behavior.
(E) Children who are treated violently will respond with violence.

When you look at the choices (D) will immediately jump out. This is exactly what we were looking for.
The argument assumes that watching violent programs leads to violence during playtime amongst kids.
What we need to find is if there is some other reason that could lead to this violence. e.g Do the children who are violent by nature watch violent programs? or something on those lines...
Now let's look at the options.

There is a pattern in such questions.
Look at the argument. The argument says that children who watch television programs that include acts of violence will commit a much greater number of violent acts.
Based on this the conclusion is drawn that such children(those who commit violent acts) should be prevented from watching violent acts on television .
The argument is assuming that watching those programs on TV leads to violence acts committed by those children.
Now look at option D.
This option rules out all the possibilities other than watching violent acts on TV.
Hence this is our answer.
IMO D
