Statement: “Please do not use the lift during a power failure.” - an instruction displayed in an office building.
Assumptions: I. The lift may stop working during a power failure. II. There is another way of reaching the upper floors. III. Power failures do occur in that building.

Answer: A

Correct answer: All are implicit

The warning exists because the lift is expected to fail, so I holds; it would be pointless to forbid the only means of access, so II holds; and an instruction about power failures presumes they happen, so III holds.
