As everyone thinks. Studies suggest that children actually spend an average of 15 to 20 hours a week in front of the TV, rather than the 20 to 30 hours usually estimated. Moreover, during much of that viewing time, children don\'t stare unblinkingly at the box, but use TV as a background for other activities, such as eating, games, and homework. Research also shows that the average American child: -- Watches about 3 hours of television a day, not counting VCR and video-game time. --Sees 5, 000 hours of TV by the first grade and 19, 000 hours by the end of high school. -- Spends 4 times as many hours watching TV as doing homework. Data in the passage suggest that the time spent by children doing homework is: A. Greater than the time spent playing video games. B. Between 15 and 20 hours a week. C. About 3 hours a day. D. Usually combined with playing games and eating. E. One-fourth the time spent watching TV.
