Hatfield Airport, the closest airport to the city of Hatfield, has recently opened a new terminal for AirJet International, a popular low-cost airline. Since the terminal has opened, Hatfield Airport has welcomed significantly more customers, to the extent that airline staff members have complained that they can no longer serve their customers efficiently. If AirJet International were to move their major terminal to the more remote Chesterfield Airport, the staff argues, the customers of both AirJet and the airlines based at Hatfield Airport would be happier.

Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reasons given for that conclusion?

1. The increased traffic at the airport is due to the popularity of AirJet's flights.
2. Other airlines based at Hatfield Airport are not as widely used as AirJet.
3. Customers are unhappy with the slowness of service at Hatfield Airport.
4. Chesterfield Airport has been losing customers since the AirJet terminal at Hatfield opened.
5. AirJet customers would not mind traveling further from Hatfield, since AirJet's low fares save them money.

OPTION A - CORRECT
We can assume that the reason for the increased traffic at the airport is due to the popularity of the air jet's flights because it is quite noticeable in the argument that the increment in customers only occurred after a new terminal was opened for Air Jet.

OPTION B - INCORRECT
There is no indication in the argument to show that other airlines based at Hatfield Airport are not widely used as Air Jet. So, this is not an assumption that supports the conclusion in the argument.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
Whether or not, the customers are unhappy about the slowness of service at Hatfield Airport is known as there as no basis for its assumption in the argument.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
We cannot assume that Chesterfield Airport has been losing customers since the Air Jet terminal at Hatfield opened because it cannot be related to any claim in the argument.

OPTION E - INCORRECT
There is no indication or evidence to prove or back this in the argument. Therefore, it cannot serve as an assumption to the conclusion of the argument.
