    Question

    A statement is followed by two assumptions, numbered I

    and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You must decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Statement: In an effort to revitalize the struggling domestic tourism sector, the Ministry of Culture has announced a "Heritage Pass" program that grants citizens free unlimited access to all national museums and historical sites for a period of two years. Assumptions: I. The cost of entry fees is a primary deterrent preventing citizens from visiting domestic museums and historical sites. II. An increase in the number of visitors to these sites will contribute to the overall revitalization of the broader tourism economy.
    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

    Assumption I is implicit: By removing entry fees to "revitalize" the sector, the Ministry is taking for granted that the current cost is a significant barrier. If the Ministry did not assume that price was a deterrent, removing the fee would not be a logical solution to increase attendance. Assumption II is implicit: The statement links the "Heritage Pass" (aimed at site visits) to the goal of "revitalizing the struggling domestic tourism sector." This presupposes that getting people into these specific sites will have a positive ripple effect on the tourism industry as a whole.
