Read the given statement carefully and identify which of the assumptions logically support the need for digital resources in public libraries.
Public libraries should offer digital resources to remain relevant.
Assumption I
Digital resources enhance the relevance of libraries.
Assumption II
Some libraries may not offer digital resources.
Assumption III
Traditional libraries are obsolete without digital resources.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Statement: Public libraries should offer digital resources to remain relevant.
Analysis of Assumptions:
• Assumption I: Implicit. The statement clearly links offering digital resources with remaining relevant, assuming that these resources enhance a library's relevance.
• Assumption II: Implicit. A recommendation to offer digital resources implies that some libraries currently do not offer them or do not offer them adequately.
• Assumption III: Not implicit. Saying traditional libraries are completely "obsolete" is an extreme assumption not warranted by the statement.
Therefore, only I and II are implicit.
