Statement: In the last decade, online shopping
has grown exponentially, with more people preferring to shop from the comfort of their homes.

(A) People are not willing to visit physical stores anymore. (B) Online shopping has had a negative impact on local businesses. (C) Physical stores need to improve their online presence to survive. (D) The rise in online shopping is mainly due to the availability of better prices. (E) People have stopped shopping at physical stores entirely.Solution
Assumption (B) can be inferred from the statement, as it directly mentions that the rise of online shopping has affected local businesses due to a decline in foot traffic. Assumption (A) cannot be inferred because the statement does not suggest that people have completely stopped visiting physical stores; it mentions a decline in foot traffic. Assumption (C) is an assumption, but not something explicitly stated in the passage. Assumption (D) is not fully implied, as better prices are mentioned but not the sole reason for online shopping’s popularity. Assumption (E) cannot be inferred since the statement mentions a decline in foot traffic, not that people have entirely stopped shopping at physical stores.
