In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptio...
Understanding the Statement
The statement mentions that the municipal corporation has advised people living in shanties along the beaches to relocate to higher places during the monsoon season. This indicates a concern for their safety and well-being due to potential flooding or other hazards associated with heavy rains.
Analysis of Assumptions
- **Assumption I:** Many people living in the shanties may leave the city and relocate themselves elsewhere in the state.
- This assumption suggests that the advice may lead to people leaving not just their current location but also the city entirely. However, the statement only addresses moving to higher ground within the area and does not imply or necessitate relocation outside the city. Therefore, this assumption is not supported by the statement.
- **Assumption II:** Majority of the people living in the shanties along the beach may try to relocate to higher places during monsoon.
- This assumption is more aligned with the statement. The municipal corporation’s advice implies that a significant number of the affected individuals are expected to heed the warning and attempt to move to safer areas. The focus is on relocating to higher places, and it is reasonable to infer that a majority may follow this advice for their safety during the monsoon.
Conclusion
Given the analysis, only Assumption II is implicit in the statement. It directly relates to the likelihood of the residents taking action based on the advice given by the municipal corporation.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'B': If only Assumption II is implicit.
