Statement: “To reduce traffic jams at the school gate, parents are asked to drop children at the corner 200 metres away.” Which assumption is implicit in the statement?
Correct answer D. Dropping children at the corner will cause less congestion at the gate than dropping them at the gate
Explanation
The request is meant to reduce jams at the gate, so it assumes the change of drop-off point will help. It need not assume the corner is completely free of traffic, which is too strong.
