A statement is given, followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement: The government is making efforts to boost tourism in State X.
Assumptions:
I. Tourism in State X dropped following political unrest.
II. Special discounts in air fare have been announced.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Neither I nor II is implicit
An assumption is implicit when the statement cannot make sense without it; something that may or may not be true is not implicit.
I. Tourism in State X dropped following political unrest. Not implicit. A government can try to boost tourism simply to increase it; the statement gives no reason for the effort, and nothing about unrest.
II. Special discounts in air fare have been announced. Not implicit. The statement does not say how tourism is being boosted; air fare discounts are only one possible step.
