Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: if only Assumption I is implicit
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
A hiring plan of this scale presupposes system capacity—vacancies, infrastructure, and budget—to absorb the recruits. It does not presuppose applicant apathy due to distrust; indeed, the plan assumes that qualified candidates will apply and positions will be filled as intended.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
For the decision to be meaningful, the system must be able to place the teachers (I). The pessimistic II undermines the decision’s feasibility and is not required; rather, the plan presumes adequate applicant interest.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Teacher job markets typically have many applicants; the barrier is budgeted posts, not interest—which aligns with I being the operative assumption.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Interpreting assumptions as speculative fears rather than necessary presuppositions for the stated action.
Final Answer:
Only Assumption I is implicit.
