While overall screen time, via computers, smart phones, and tablets, may well be increasing, new studies suggest that exposure to television—network and cable—has begun to trend down just slightly. Clearly, our devices are diverting our attention and filling our time in other ways as we play games, network socially, and watch videos online. Nevertheless, some assert that we are watching more tele- vision than ever, but that viewing, which is platform-diverse and sometimes multi- tasked, is now less quantifiable.
Each of the following should be assumed to be true in order for the counter-argument to be plausible EXCEPT:
(A) Viewing online videos may have been erroneously classified as television watching.
(B) Viewers may be watching television while simultaneously social networking or gaming.
(C) New studies have failed to take into account all the ways in which television is now viewed.
(D) A new definition of what constitutes television watching is required for the cur- rent platform-diverse reality.
(E) Television viewing by means of smartphones and online services is under represented in current survey data.

We need an assumption that "does not" support the second (last) argument, which says "we are now watching more tv than ever, but is not quantifiable".
Statement 1 : CORRECT.
This says watching online videos has been incorrectly identified as watching TV.
It above is true, it actually supports the previous argument, i.e, Tv time has indeed reduced. However we need to see if this supports the second argument as per the question stem. Clearly not.
