    Question

    In each question below is given a statement/passage

    followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Statement: To reduce air pollution in metropolitan cities, the government has introduced a new policy encouraging people to use public transport by offering subsidized monthly travel passes. Assumptions: I. High usage of private vehicles contributes significantly to air pollution. II. Reduced travel costs may motivate people to switch from private vehicles to public transport.
    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 mentions subsidized public transport passes as a way to reduce air pollution. For this to work, the policy assumes that private vehicles are a major source of pollution — supporting Assumption I. It also assumes that subsidies can influence people’s transport choices, aligning with Assumption II. Hence, both assumptions are implicit.
