  • B. Only II is implicit
  • C. Only II and III are implicit
  • D. All are implicit
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only II and III are implicit 

    Explanation
    I cannot be assumed from the given statement and so it is not implicit. Also, knowing that his flight is scheduled to depart at 6 p.m., Ravi would leave accordingly, keeping enough time to search for a vehicle and to reach the airport well before time. So, both II and III are implicit.
