Multiple choice

Directions: Analyse the statements given and choose an appropriate answer for the question that follows:

Air travel has become cheaper over the last few years. The entry of low-cost carriers in the industry has further boosted the growth significantly. New Delhi airport has experienced a great rush of travellers even during off-peak months. As a result, the government had to develop better amenities on the airport. The ministry should emphasise on increasing flight frequency and facilities in airports across the nation as soon as possible to meet the needs of the passengers.

The argument above depends upon which of the following assumptions?

  1. Gas prices would drop further and would give a boost to the industry and thus, increase the need for better airports across the nation.

  2. The increasing global trend of travelling by air will soon catch up in India.

  3. All the airports across the nation would experience the same increase in the demand for air travel.

  4. The boom in the industry will continue to happen across the country in the coming years too.

  5. The greater number of air travellers will generate competition for quality service, which includes better frequency, selection of meals on board, and a friendly staff.
