Question

    A statement is given, followed by two assumptions I and II. You have to consider the statement and two assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit.

    Statement : "The government has decided to build more

    highways to improve connectivity." Assumptions : I. Highways help in economic growth by improving connectivity. II. People may prefer road travel if highways are well-maintained.
    A If only Assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only Assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If neither Assumption I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If both Assumption I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If either Assumption I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Assumption I is directly implicit, as improving connectivity through highways is likely linked to the belief in fostering economic growth. Assumption II is not directly implicit, as the statement does not address people's travel preferences.
