I choose (E). Why? The key lies in "people lack sufficient free time." I have to know whether the respondents of that survey are people lack sufficient free time before making an judgement.

It is important to realize, at first, that the time after your work is a free time. For example, from 7pm to 11pm.

If (E) is right: respondents are increasingly using computer during their work. Their time spent on computer INCREASED, but after work, they use their sufficient free time to watch television. Their time spent on TV remains NO CHANGE, always 7pm to 11pm. --> this is people don't lack sufficient free time.
            

If (E) is no: respondents are increasingly using computer after their work. Their time spent on computer INCREASED, but they have to sacrifice some of their free time to television now, therefore the time spent on TV DECREASED. (for example, 7pm to 9pm using computer, and 9pm to 11pm watching TV) --> this is people lack sufficient free time.

Therefore, answer (E) helps us to evaluate the author's argument.
            

没 注意到free time ,上来就以为work 无关给排除了,郁闷

A肯定不对。
如果按照OG的理论，这个题目要比较的时看电视的量，并非是看电视的频率（regularly）。

因为在OG这样的说明太多了，比如说题目是比较变化，根据具体量无关的，等等

oh,my god! free time! E! !

E.否则survey所比较的时间基数和assumption里的free time时间基数不一致。根本上导致survey的结果能不能作为证据。

文章先说一个结论，说：电脑活动多了，电视活动就少了，assumption是人们在free time 用电脑时间多了的同时无法有足够的时间使用电视（含一种意思：free time是一定的）。但是文章认为这个前提是错的， 因为有evidence说，有人说，他们的电脑时间多了，但是电视活动的时间不变（要削弱的是之前的assumption即free time是一定的），说明free time 是变多了

但如果如E所说：人们花大量的时间在电脑上是为了工作而不是free time的花，削弱了文章用于削弱assumption的例子，即，有可能free time还是一定的，原来的assumption也许是对的。

我的两点看法：

1.题里谈的是增加电脑使用时间会不会影响看电视时间。而题中的survey也是针对电脑使用时间增加的人，没任何问题。那些人是不是常看电视，对话题没影响。所以A不对

2.对于E，如果是包括工作时间，当然是会削弱。但如果是不包括，也不能很好的支持。这好像和大多数的评价题答案不太一样啊？真是“矬子里拔大个儿”吗？

问一下，为什么d不对？

    

D.    
Whether a large majority of the computer owners in the
survey reported spending increasing amounts of time per week using computers

不是正好对应了题目中的条件“in a recent mail survey
concerning media use, a very large majority of respondents who report
increasing time spent per week using computer report no change in time spent
watching television” 中的“increasing time spent per week” 么？

如果d取非，则这个基本条件就不成立了，即被调查的人根本没有就没有真正的增加使用电脑的时间，所以结论自然就不可信了啊。固然a和e都有道理，但是明显不如d来得直接啊。

而且以前也有过must be true的题目直接引用原题的作为正确答案，那是不是直接否定原题也可以是weaken的答案呢？

其实我也没敢选择d，觉得太傻太直接，但又不是很敢高估ets的意图，希望大家也来讨论一下d，这也涉及到一个排除选项策略的问题，到底傻到什么样的选项不可以选？

我同意你遇到的问题，D虽直接，但正是因为直接，仅仅是对文中的这个背景知识做了转述，对评价无任何加强作用，因为答yes/no

对本身的结论无任何影响。所以D错误

这题要特别注意很含蓄的结论：

是针对的“人们不能够在维持看电视时间不变的情况下，增加用电脑的时间”的这个假设是错误的 。

 

所以如果答是的话，就会削弱结论
            

答否的话，只是稍微有点加强的意味，但力度不是很大
            

不过E选项这么比较而言的话已经是best answer了
            

所以我认为还是选E
            

OPEN TO DISCUSS!!
