The government had not declared many parts of the state as drought-hit to help farmers get loans.
Which of the following is an assumption implicit in the given statements?
Answer: B
The statement does not refer to what the farmers want. It only states the action taken by the government. Hence, choice (1) is out of context.
The reason behind the government's decision to not declare many areas drought hit is to let the farmers avail loans. From this it is clear that the government is assuming that there is a necessity for the farmers to avail loans.Hence, choice (2) is an implicit assumption.
The government does not want the farmers to be denied loans. As a result the government is not declaring many areas as drought hit. From this it can be inferred that the farmers do not get loans, once their area is declared drought hit.
Hence, choice (3) is an inference.
The statement has no reference to the farmers who are in the areas that are not drought hit. Hence, choice (4) is out of context.
