Question

Statement: In spite of the heavy rains the traffic has not been disrupted this year.
Assumptions:
I. The traffic is disrupted in rainy seasons only.
II. Rains do not affect traffic movement.
III. Adequate precautions were taken for traffic management during rainy season.

• A. Only I is implicit
• B. Only I and II are implicit
• C. Only III is implicit
• D. Only II and III are implicit
• E. None is implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is C Only III is implicit

The statement expresses surprise at the traffic situation remaining normal even after rains. This means that rains affect traffic. So, II is not implicit. But this does not mean that only rains affect traffic. So, I is also not implicit. Since the traffic was not affected during rains as expected, so III is implicit.
