Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Experts predict that electric vehicles (EVs) will dominate the car market by 2035."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Technology for EVs will continue to improve.
2️⃣ Consumers will resist EV adoption because of range anxiety.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

ABoth 1 and 2

BOnly 1

COnly 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Determine the prediction driver
Domination prediction rests on technological progress and market acceptance.
Step 2: Evaluate assumptions
Assumption 1 — continuous tech improvement — implicit. Assumption 2 — consumer resistance due to range anxiety — contradicts the view of domination and therefore is not implicit.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option B
Quick Check:
If technology stagnates or resistance persists strongly, EV dominance would be unlikely ✅

Quick Trick: Remove assumptions that contradict the positive forecast.

Common Mistakes:

Treating obstacle statements as implicit when they oppose the forecast.
