      Question

      Statement: "Please use the stairs if the elevator is

      crowded; it is a healthy alternative and saves electricity." — A notice posted in a 10-story office building. Assumptions: I. The people reading the notice are physically capable of using the stairs. II. The elevator in the building frequently becomes crowded. III. Using stairs is beneficial for physical health.
      A Only assumption III is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only assumptions II and III are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only assumptions I and III are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D All I, II, and III are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Assumption I is implicit because a public notice requesting an action assumes that the target audience has the ability to perform that action. Assumption II is implicit because the notice specifically addresses the condition "if the elevator is crowded," which implies that this is a recognized or expected occurrence in the building. Assumption III is implicit because the statement itself justifies the suggestion by calling it a "healthy alternative," taking for granted that stair-climbing provides health benefits. Hence, option D.
