Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Both Assumptions I and II are implicit
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Operational changes such as rescheduling trains are usually communicated to enable passengers to adjust plans. Posting the revised schedule on the website is a deliberate communication channel. We must evaluate which assumptions the authority relies on to achieve effective passenger compliance and smooth operations.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
For the communication strategy to work, two beliefs are natural: (a) the audience will access the channel, and (b) the information will be actionable in practice. If either part fails, the communicative goal is undermined.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
If passengers neither check nor can act on the updated times, the rescheduling notice would not achieve its intended effect, validating that both assumptions are necessary for the measure to be effective.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Thinking that publishing alone suffices. Communication effectiveness depends on both reach (awareness) and practical follow-through (ability to act).
Final Answer:
Both Assumptions I and II are implicit.
