Answer:
Gain recognized by Tom is $10000
So option (b) will be correct answer
Explanation :
We have given liability on bulding assumed by Paul Corp = $30,000
Tom's adjusted basis in the building = $20,000
Since the liability assumed by Paul Corp on the building is greater than Tom's adjusted basis, Tom must recognize gain equal to the difference between the liability on the building and his adjusted basis.
So gain recognized by Tom = $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

I think it's guessing from context? Hope I helped!
I wholeheartedly agree and think it’s practically self-evident.
Here’s an excellent example from history.
For 28 years, the Berlin Wall separated East Berlin from West Berlin and was the most heavily militarized border crossing in the Western hemisphere. In 1989, during a press conference with western media, Gunther Schabowski was handed a note explaining a change in policy governing border crossing. Several discussions took place about making a show of opening the border between East and West Germany, but nobody informed Schabowski.
At the end of the press conference, he appears to have remembered the note belatedly, and read it verbatim—which was not what was intended. When asked about when the border would open, he assumed it was immediate.
The reality of course was that East Germany had no intention of opening the border, and certainly not immediately.
Within hours, the border crossing was practically buried under thousands of East Germans eager to be reunited with their families and other loved ones after 28 years on the press conference, which had been broadcast live.
The East Germans believed what they were told: Schabowski said immediately, and they intended to go immediately.
Border guards kept calling for instructions, until finally, they relented.
Perception became reality, and the border between East and West Berlin opened, spelling the de facto end of the separation of Germany.
