      Question

      In each question below is given a statement/passage

      followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two assumptions together and decide which of them is implicit in the statement. Statement: A national electricity board has announced a special rebate for households that significantly reduce their monthly power consumption over the next six months. Assumptions: I. Households are capable of reducing their electricity usage if given financial incentives. II. The electricity board wants to prevent possible power shortages in the near future.
      A Only I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The statement introduces a rebate for households that reduce power consumption, which means the electricity board assumes people can reduce their usage if motivated by incentives.
      Thus, Assumption I is implicit. The statement does not mention or imply any concern regarding future power shortages. The rebate could be for cost-saving, sustainability goals, or public awareness. Therefore, Assumption II is not implicit.
