Question
In the question below, a premise is given, followed by
three statements which may or may not be assumptions on which the passage lies. From the options below, choose the one that reflects the correct choice of assumptions that follow. For the past few months, the city of Lakhnagar has been experiencing severe traffic congestion during peak hours. Despite expanding several major roads and increasing traffic police deployment, the problem persists. Now, the city administration has decided to promote carpooling and encourage the use of public transport by offering discounted bus passes and special carpool lanes for shared vehicles. Which of the following is an assumption? 1. Citizens will be willing to use public transport and carpooling if given incentives. 2. Expanding roads and increasing traffic police deployment are not sufficient to solve the congestion problem. 3. People prefer using their private vehicles even when public transport is available.Solution
The passage tells us that despite road expansion and more traffic police, congestion continues — this implies the administration assumes these measures are not sufficient (Assumption 2 follows).
They are now promoting carpooling and public transport — this step assumes that citizens will respond positively and switch if given incentives (Assumption 1 follows).
However, Assumption 3 is not directly stated or required; it could be true, but the passage doesn’t rely on it. Hence, Assumptions 1 and 2
