Difficulty: Easy
Choose an option
Answer
Correct Answer: if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The statement asserts that a company conveyance “helps” punctuality. We test whether it requires stronger universal claims.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Company transport can improve timeliness.
- “Helps” indicates facilitation, not necessity or certainty.
Concept / Approach:Assumption I (always on time) is not needed; the benefit can exist even if occasional delays occur. Assumption II (otherwise impossible) is also not needed; employees can be punctual by other means, though the facility assists.
Step-by-Step Solution:Reject I: “Helps” ≠ “always guarantees.”Reject II: “Helps” ≠ “only way.”
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Any selection including I or II overstates the claim beyond “helps.”
Final Answer:if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
