Statement: "As our business is expanding, we need to appoint more staff." Owner of a company informs his staff. Assumptions: The present staff is not competent. More staff will further expand the business. Suitable persons to be taken as staff will be available.

None is implicit
Only I is implicit
Only II is implicit
Only III is implicit
All are implicit

Correct Answer: Only III is implicit

Explanation:

The statement mentions that the present staff is insufficient, not incompetent. So, I is not implicit. Also, the purpose for appointing more staff is to control the expanding business, not to expand it further. So, II is not implicit. Since the company owner talks of appointing more staff, so III is implicit.
