34.
Statement: In spite of the heavy rains the traffic has not been disrupted this year.
Assumptions:
- The traffic is disrupted in rainy seasons only.
- Rains do not affect traffic movement.
- Adequate precautions were taken for traffic management during rainy season.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement expresses surprise at the traffic situation remaining normal even after rains. This means that rains affect traffic. So, II is not implicit. But this does not mean that only rains affect traffic. So, I is also not implicit. Since the traffic was not affected during rains as expected, so III is implicit.

"In spite of the heavy rains the traffic has not been disrupted this year. " So the author expects rains, which fall in only in a particular rainy season, should disrupt the traffic, otherwise nothing else should disrupt it. Isn't the author assuming that "I. The traffic is disrupted in rainy seasons only".
