Assumptions:

1. The economic condition was not critical before the harvest season.

2. The economic condition could not have improved without a good harvest season.

3. The economic condition was expected to improve after a good harvest season.

  • A.Only I and II are implicit
  • B.Only II is implicit
  • C.Only II and III are implicit
  • D.Only III is implicit
  • E.Only I and III are implicit

Answer: D

It is mentioned that 'the economic condition continues to be critical'. This means that it was critical before the harvest season also. So, I is not implicit. Also, the statement does not imply that only a good harvest season could improve the economic condition. So, II is not implicit. However, since a surprise has been expressed over the condition being critical even after a good harvest season, it means that it was expected to improve after a good harvest season. So, III is implicit.
