In each questions given below. a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement?
Statement: Because of the large number of potholes in road X, reaching airport in time has become difficult.
Assumptions: I. Reaching airport in time may not be always necessary. II. There is no other convenient road to the airport.

Options

A. if only assumption I is implicit.
B. if only assumption II is implicit.
C. if either assumption I or II is implicit.
D. if neither assumption I nor II is implicit.

Answer

B

Explanation

I. Not-Implicit: Not related to the statement. There is no proof in the statement about reaching airport all the time being a necessity. II. Implicit: Root Cause. Since the author focuses on the fact that because of too many potholes on road X, it is difficult to reach the airport on time shows that there is no other convenient road which can be opted for.
