  • Question
  • Statement: The economic condition continues to be critical even after a good harvest season.

    Assumptions:

    1. The economic condition was not critical before the harvest season.
    2. The economic condition could not have improved without a good harvest season.
    3. The economic condition was expected to improve after a good harvest season.


  • Options
  • A. Only I and II are implicit
  • B. Only II is implicit
  • C. Only II and III are implicit
  • D. Only III is implicit
  • E. Only I and III are implicit

  • Correct Answer
  • Only III is implicit 

    Explanation
    It is mentioned that 'the economic condition continues to be critical'. This means that it was critical before the harvest season also. So, I is not implicit. Also, the statement does not imply that only a good harvest season could improve the economic condition. So, II is not implicit. However, since a surprise has been expressed over the condition being critical even after a good harvest season, it means that it was expected to improve after a good harvest season. So, III is implicit.
