A statement is given followed by two possible underlying assumptions I and II. Read all the information carefully and decide which of the given assumptions can be assumed by the given statement.
Statement:
"If we promote our play in all the local newspapers before the end of this week, we will sell more tickets for our play this weekend." ________ play director in City D.
Assumptions:
I. The newspaper companies in City D take less than a week to finalise advertisements and publish them.
II. Not many people in City D prefer watching plays.

​​Statement:
"If we promote our play in all the local newspapers before the end of this week, we will sell more tickets for our play this weekend." ________ play director in City D.
​Assumptions:​

This assumption is implicit because the statement suggests that promoting the play "before the end of this week" will impact ticket sales. If newspapers took longer than a week to finalize and publish ads, promoting in newspapers would not help sell tickets for the same weekend.

Hence, Assumption I is valid.

This assumption is not implicit. The statement does not suggest anything about the general interest level of people in plays. Instead, it focuses on the idea that advertising in newspapers will increase ticket sales. Whether or not many people in City D prefer plays is irrelevant to the statement's logic.

​Only I can be assumed​

The correct answer is (A)
