Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: if only assumption I is implicit.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Availability queries require an understood context: the transport mode and usually the intended date/time window. Without that, “check availability” is underspecified. In contrast, traveler personal details are not needed merely to check availability; they become necessary at the booking/issuance stage, not at the initial query stage.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
The minimal assumption for a meaningful search is clarity on mode and schedule parameters (I). Traveler details (II) are not required until booking is attempted.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Any search engine or counter can show open seats without traveler details; booking requires them later. This confirms I only.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming personal details are always necessary even for preliminary inquiries.
Final Answer:
Only Assumption I is implicit.
