People's supply of willpower is not infinite; psychologists have found that successfully accomplishing one task requiring self-control leads to less persistence on a second, seemingly unrelated task. But that finite supply can become larger, because, like a muscle, willpower grows with use: a recent study showed that people who followed a physical exercise program for two months reported studying more, watching less television, and doing more housework after those two months.
The reasoning above makes which of the following assumptions?
A. Studying, watching television, and doing housework should be considered tasks unrelated to one another.
B. The people in the study did not watch less television than the average person before the study took place.
C. People's supply of willpower cannot be increased by means other than repeatedly exercising that willpower.
D. The exercise program followed by the people in the study required more willpower than did whatever exercise they engaged
