Question
In the question below, a passage is given followed by a
statement. You have to identify which assumption the argument in the passage is based upon. Passage: In recent years, the government has implemented several policies to increase the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the country. These policies include subsidies for EV buyers, tax breaks for manufacturers, and incentives for setting up EV charging infrastructure. The government has also announced plans to increase the number of EVs on the road by 50% over the next five years. Based on these efforts, it is assumed that the demand for electric vehicles will rise significantly, which will lead to a reduction in air pollution and fossil fuel dependence. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?Solution
The argument is based on the assumption that the government’s policies and incentives will lead to an increase in the demand for electric vehicles. Without this assumption, the government's efforts would not have the desired effect of reducing air pollution and fossil fuel dependence. Thus, A is the correct answer. B is not explicitly assumed in the passage; the focus is on the increase in EVs and their effect, not on other factors. C is not an assumption; the passage does not address the government’s budget or cost concerns. D is not implied by the passage; it does not assume the technology will remain unchanged. E is not discussed in the passage, as manufacturing capacity is not mentioned as a concern.
