Be wary of this aggressive language in a Necessary Assumption-type answer choice!
(E) is wrong for pretty much the same reason we're always leery of such big claims: we don't need to know that children reside in every single home with lead paint in order to know that getting rid of the paint would eliminate the poisoning.
Imagine there are 100 kids in the town. 25 of them live in homes without lead paint (so they're not in danger from lead paint). The other 75 kids live in 75 different lead paint homes. Then there are another 100 homes with lead paint and no kids at all.
In that scenario (which is just one of many possibilities), if lead paint is the problem, then eliminating the paint would eradicate the problem, even though kids don't live in all the houses that have lead paint.
Make sense?
