Zorluk: KolayStatement and Assumptions

Read the following statement carefully.

Statement: The state transport department has issued an advisory requesting all daily commuters to purchase their bus tickets through the official mobile application to avoid long queues at the terminal counters.

Which of the following assumptions are implicit in the given statement? (Select all that apply)

  1. A significant number of commuters have access to smartphones and the internet to use the official mobile application.Cevap
  2. Purchasing tickets through the mobile application will effectively help in reducing the congestion at the terminal counters.Cevap
  3. C
    The transport department intends to permanently close down all physical ticket counters at the terminals in the near future.
  4. D
    Mobile applications are generally the most secure platform for conducting online financial transactions.

Cevap

The implicit assumptions are that commuters have access to the mobile application, and that using the application will successfully reduce queues at the terminal.
The correct answers identify the two essential premises that must be true for the advisory to make sense: the target audience must be able to use the mobile application, and using it must logically lead to the desired outcome of reduced queues.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the statement to identify the proposed action and its intended goal.
Action: Purchase tickets via mobile app. Goal: Avoid long queues at terminal counters.
Understanding the cause-and-effect relationship presented in the statement is the first step in identifying its underlying premises.
2
Evaluate the first candidate assumption regarding commuter access to smartphones.
It is a valid assumption.
An advisory is only issued if the authority assumes the public has the capability and resources to follow it.
3
Evaluate the second candidate assumption regarding the effectiveness of the app in reducing queues.
It is a valid assumption.
The authority must believe that the proposed solution will actually achieve the stated goal of reducing congestion, otherwise the advisory would be pointless.
4
Evaluate the remaining candidate assumptions.
They are invalid.
Closing physical counters is an unsupported inference, and the security of mobile apps is irrelevant to the specific goal of reducing queues.
