The civic authority has appealed to the citizens to cooperate in curbing rampant power theft in the locality.
Assumptions:
I. The local citizens group may respond to the request and form groups of people to detect such cases of power theft.
II. Those who are engaged in stealing power may stop doing so for fear of social castigation.
Answer: Option B. -> if only assumption II is implicit.
Answer: (b)Request made by civic authorities to the citizens implies that the authorities must be assuming that the citizens will respond positively. Now look at assumption I. It may or may not be an assumption because the way of responding by the citizens may not necessarily be the same as mentioned in the assumption. Hence, assumption I is not implicit. Again, request made by the authorities implies that the authorities must be assuming that their effort will reduce the problem of power theft. Now, how can they assume this? Obviously, II is an assumption.
