    Aparna: I cannot tolerate the nuisance of drug abuse in

    my current university and thus, I have decided to transfer to a university where there are no fraternities in case nothing is done about the drug problem at this university. Saket: Your plan is not impressive. I don't support the claim that fraternities are responsible for the drug problem at this university. Drug problem exists at all universities, including those where there are no fraternities. This is because it is not simply a fraternity problem, it's a cultural problem. Which one of the following is an assumption on which Aparna's argument depends?
    A Drug problems are becoming more widespread at universities. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B There could be universities that have no drug problems (c) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Some fraternity members who consume drugs are too young to do so legally. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Nothing will be done about the drug problem at Aparna's university. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Most of the universities have fraternities. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As per Aparna's argument, since she does not want to be in a university with drug problem, she would move to some other university from her current university. This would be possible only if there is any university where drug problem does not exist, as otherwise her plan would not work. The same assumption is given in option (b). Thus, option (b) is the right answer.
