Statement: 'The bureau must transition entirely to electronic records to eliminate the loss of physical documents.' What is the necessary unstated assumption of this statement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Electronic records are significantly less prone to accidental loss than physical paper records

  1. Step 1: The premise advocates moving to electronic records to solve the problem of lost physical documents. Step 2. An unstated assumption is an underlying premise required for the logic to hold: for the transition to achieve its purpose, electronic storage must avoid the loss experienced with physical records. Answer: Electronic records are significantly less prone to accidental loss than physical paper records. Why not the others: Employee engineering certification is unnecessary; destroying paper is an extreme implementation, not an assumption.
