The question below contains a statement followed by two assumptions I and II. You have to consider everything in the statement to be true and then consider two assumptions and decide which of those assumptions logically follow/s the information given in the statement beyond any reasonable doubt. Statement: The civic authority has appealed to the people to reduce water consumption as there may be a severe shortage of water in the coming weeks. Assumption: I. There will be no rain at all in the near future. II. People are ready to follow the advice of civil authorities. Correct Answer Only assumption II is implicit.

  • The statement talks about water shortage. However, it does not suggest anything about the cause of the shortage. Therefore, the assumption that the shortage will be due to a lack of rain is not implicit. The shortage could be due to repair work of water pipes or any other reason too.
  • The civil authority has appealed to reduce water consumption and stated the reason for the appeal. This suggests that they expect that people will follow the advice upon realizing the severity of the issue of water shortage. If they believed that no one would heed the advice, the appeal was unlikely. Thus, the second assumption is implicit.
Hence, "only assumption II is implicit" is the correct answer.
