A spurt of surveys over recent years has shown that youngsters world over are choosing to switch from tequila, rum and vodka to Scotch whiskey.

What can be inferred from the passage given above?

A
Youngsters have a different choice than other age group

B
The survey was correct in analysing the data

C
Scotch whiskey is a better alternative to rum, tequila or rum

D
In past 5 years, there has been a change in the way youngsters eat or drink

Solution

Nothing is stated about other age groups, hence 1 cannot be inferred. 3 cannot be inferred as no reason for the change is given and it cannot be assumes that the change happened because Scotch is better. 2 is the assumption of the passage as it relies on what the surveys state and not an inference.Hence, 4 is a correct inference.

Google has said there was a dramatic spike in searches for Irish passport applications as news of the UK's decision to leave the EU broke.

What can be inferred from the passage?

A
UK's decision is known to a large number of people

B
Before the news of UK's decision, people seldom searched for Irish passport applications

C
Irish passports have become more popular after UK's decision to leave EU

D
Most of the people in Ireland do not have Irish passports

Solution

If there has been a dramatic spike or a high increase in searches, the least we can conclude is that many people know about UK's decision or else huge number of people won't suddenly start searching for it. Hence 1 is correct. 2 is wrong as there is not data to support it. 3 states that passports have become more popular. We do not know the condition before the news. 4 cannot be inferred as we do not know which people are searching for Irish passports. 5 again is wrong as there is no relation between difficulty of obtaining a passport and increase in the number of people applying for it.
Question 10
4 / -1

On Thursday, Uber taxi announced that it is expanding its upfront fares globally, meaning you'll know the exact price before you request your ride.

What is the essential assumption made by the author?

A
The Uber taxi will be available for ride

B
Uber will not add any additional charge to the fare

C
Anyone hiring Uber taxi will calculate the fare before the ride

D
The customer knows all the stops that come between the source and destination

Solution

The author's conclusion is that the customer will know the price before he takes the ride. He assumes that whatever fares Uber has announced are the ones that it will charge the customers. Author thus assumes that there are no extra charges along with the fares and hence 2 is the correct assumption. 1 and 4 are not related to fares. 3 is already mentioned in the passage.
