alleryThe shop's lights were off and its gate was locked. We can infer that:
AIt was busy
BIt was closed
CIt was new
DIt was moving
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. It was closed
1. The premises are that the lights were off and the gate was locked.
2. A logical consequence is that no business was being done.
3. So the shop was closed.
4. A busy, new or moving shop does not fit the clues.
**Why not the others:** A busy shop would have lights on and the gate open, and nothing says it was new or moving.
