答案 D
解析 The sentence gives three pieces of information: that a new study suggests the nature of violence on television is changing; that it was funded t y educational institutions; and that it was conduct-ed by the Center for Media and Public Affair t, a nonprofit research center.
Our task is to order this information logically and grammatically. The most obvious defect in the given sentence is that the long phrase a study... institutions describing how the study was funded is placed too far from the first mention of the study (a new study), with too much distracting information in between.
A    This choice is incorrect for the reasons stated above.
B    In this choice, it is ambiguous: it could, for example, refer to the evidence or the new study.
C    In this choice, the modifying phrases underwritten by... and conducted by... appear to modify programs.
D    Correct. This choice clearly organizes the information in the sentence, with no ambiguity.
E    The pronoun it is ambiguous: it could refer to the new study or the evidence.
The correct answer is D.
