City A and City B lie across a river from each other. There are many more people in City A that there are jobs there. However, there is no unemployment problems in City A because City B has a large number of jobs on offer all the time. Hence, as long the economy of City B is in boom condition, there should be no unemployment problem in City A.
Which of the following is an assumption involved in the argument above?
(A) The river separating the two cities can be crossed using any of the many bridges that connect City A to City B.
(B) City B does not seem headed for a recession.
(C) City B does not seem likely to reserve a large portion of jobs for its own residents in the near future.
(D) City A and City B are within the same country or in two closely allied countries.
(E) The daily commute between City a and City B is a troublesome affair.

An assumption is a necessity: the conclusion fails to hold in the absence of the assumption. For example, the river can be crossed either by bridge or by boat. So bridge is not a necessity. Hence, option A cannot be an answer. The only thing absolutely necessary (given in the options) is that city A people can continue to work in city B (no restrictions will be imposed on that).
