Instruction: Identify the assumptions that must hold for the statement to be valid, then choose the correct option.

Statement: The rapid advancement of automation and artificial intelligence could lead to significant job displacement, but it also presents an opportunity to create new jobs in emerging industries.

Assumptions:
I. Automation and AI could cause job losses in some sectors.
II. New industries will emerge as a result of automation and AI.
III. The displacement caused by automation is temporary and will be reversed by new industries.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Only I and II are implicit

Analyse each assumption:

I. The phrase 'could lead to significant job displacement' directly implies job losses in some sectors — implicit.

II. The phrase 'create new jobs in emerging industries' implies new industries will arise — implicit.

III. The statement never claims the displacement is temporary or will be reversed — this is an extra claim — not implicit.

Hence only I and II are implicit.
