Statement :
"The Government should ban private vehicles in city centers to reduce pollution."
Which of the following is an implicit assumption ?
Answer: B
The implicit assumption is Private vehicles are the main cause of city pollution.
An assumption is something the speaker must take for granted for the recommendation to make sense. Banning private vehicles to reduce pollution only makes sense if those vehicles are a major source of the pollution in city centres, which is what the key's option expresses.
The statement says nothing about whether public transport can carry everyone, does not need industries to be pollution-free, and does not depend on whether people will oppose the ban, so A, C and D are not assumptions it rests on.
