Read the statement carefully. Identify the option that the statement depends upon for its conclusion to be valid. Select the option that best expresses this underlying assumption.
Statement: A new smartphone app designed to manage personal finances will be successful because it provides users with personalized budget recommendations.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
1) Users overspend → not required
2) Other apps don’t have this → not necessary
3) Users will follow recommendations → must be true for success
4) Data security → important but not linked to given reason
Therefore, the argument assumes that users will follow the personalized budget recommendations, which is necessary for the app’s success. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
