Statement:
People are bound to reject changes in the basic structure of the Constitution and any interference in the traditional communal harmony.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Answer: (b)

The statement may be given by a lawyer or any other critic.

So we can’t assume that this is given by an opposition leader. But the speaker is assuming II. That is why he takes about people rejecting the changes.

Question : 3

The dawn of the new millennium could affect computers and computer-run activities.

I. The dawn of the new millennium will be sad for some people.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (d)

Question : 4

Statement:
All the students of a school were instructed by the Principal to reach school at least 15 minutes before the stipulated time for the coming month.
Assumptions:
I. The parents of the students of the school may protest against the Principal’s instruction.
II. The parents may request the Principal to withdraw the instruction.

a) if only assumption I is implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (d)

The Principal must be assuming that the students will abide by the instruction. Note that if a person instructs someone or a group of persons, the former assumes that the latter will abide by it.

Hence, both I and II are not implicit.

Question : 5

Statement:
This move has been taken from the point of view of exchange rate management.
Assumptions:
I. Such a move is not desirable.
II. No other move is possible.

a) if only assumption I is implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (d)

I is not implicit: since the statement is silent on whether the move would have a good or a bad impact, it does not make any assumption about the move’s desirability. II is also not implicit. In fact, the assumption is on the contrary.

If we say that this move has been taken from a particular point of view (that of exchange rate management), we assume that other moves are also possible.

Question : 6

The need to treat properly the elderly and the disabled stems from both the assumptions.
