Argument: A recent study observed that children who participate in organized sports for at least four hours a week have higher average grades than those who do not. Therefore, participation in organized sports improves academic performance.

Which of the following is an unstated assumption required by the argument?

  1. Organized sports provide physical benefits that are not available through unorganized play.
  2. Children with higher academic performance are not naturally more likely to participate in organized sports.
  3. The organized sports teams wear uniforms that use their schools' official colors.
  4. Academic performance is the primary factor parents consider when enrolling children in sports.
  5. Most organized sports practices take place after school rather than before the school day begins.
