Consider the argument and decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit Argument: The BEST bus travels company has decided to increase its fare by 10%. Assumptions: 1. Passengers may opt for other buses costing less than the BEST bus travels company.
Only assumption 2 is implicit
Assumption 1:
Passengers may opt for other buses costing less than the BEST bus travels company.

This possibility is not necessary for the decision.
Not implicit
Assumption 2:
The demand for the buses by some passengers may remain unchanged even after the fare hike.
If every passenger stopped using the service after fare increase, the company would not likely raise fares.
So the company assumes that at least some passengers will continue using the buses.
Implicit
Final Answer:
Only Assumption 2 is implicit.
