      Question

      In the question below, a statement is given, followed

      by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You must consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of them is implicit in the statement. Statement: "With the rise of high-quality digital streaming, physical cinema halls must upgrade to premium laser projection and immersive sound systems to justify the ticket price to the audience." Assumptions: I. Digital streaming platforms currently offer a viewing experience that rivals or exceeds the standard equipment of many existing cinema halls. II. Audiences are no longer interested in watching movies on a large screen and prefer mobile devices.
      A Only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only assumption 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: The statement suggests that cinema halls need to "upgrade" to "justify" their prices because of the "rise of high-quality digital streaming." This implies a comparison is being made where streaming is currently high-quality enough to challenge the value proposition of a standard cinema experience. If streaming weren't a high-quality competitor, the "justification" via upgrades wouldn't be framed as a necessity. Assumption II is not implicit: The statement actually suggests that audiences will still go to cinema halls if the technology is upgraded to a premium level. It focuses on the quality of the tech, not a total loss of interest in the large-screen format itself. Conclusion: Only the first assumption is a necessary premise for the statement to be logical.
