Statement:

Assumptions:

I. Artificial honey can be prepared.

II. People do not mind paying more for pure honey.

III. No other company supplies pure honey.

Options:

A . Only I is implicit

B . I and II are implicit

C . I and III are implicit

D . All are implicit

Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
The word 'natural' has been mentioned in the statement and that part of the statement is 'natural and pure honey'. It does mean that artificial honey can be made.
Hence, Assumption I is implicit.
Assumption II is not implicit as no comparison is made of the prices of natural and artificial honey.
Assumption III is again invalid as it has no relation with the given statement.
