  • Options

  • C. Only I and III are implicit
  • D. All are implicit
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only II and III are implicit 

    Explanation
    Clearly, the statement shows that the present taxes are not sufficient to meet the deficit but they may still be high. So, I is not implicit. Since the statement talks of covering the deficit, so II is implicit. Also, the taxes are increased to meet the deficit. So, III is also implicit.
