@Marissa-Avnaim,
Happy to help. Let's take a look at (B).
(B) says, "Of those members of the population who do not watch
television, the percentage who read a newspaper every day has also
shown a dramatic decrease."
We're looking to wreck the explanation in the stimulus. With (B), we
know that newspaper reading has decreased even among the subset of the
population that doesn't watch television. This shows us the purported
effect (a decrease in newspaper reading) without the purported cause
(increased television viewing), so this damages the explanation given
in the stimulus and is the correct answer.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
