Question : 1

Statement:
A film is no different from a poem, a story or a painting. Can one think of erasing a painting for instance? Or, ask a poet to delete some lines ofhis work? Sounds ridiculous! It is the same thing about a film: one must see it in the form the director wants us to see it.
Assumptions:
I. Boards usually pressurise directors of a film to cut some shots.
II. Filmmakers should have the right to show whatever they want.

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: (e)

The context is that of films. And the comparisons are to “erasing” a painting and “deleting” lines.

Hence I is implicit. The entire statement is a plea for II.

Why a reward for a good suggestion? Obviously, authorities are assuming that the reward will en

Thuse employees to evolve innovative techniques.

Hence, I is also implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

Answer: (e)

If ‘A’ advises ‘B’ to do something, then the former assumes that the latter has the required expertise to do it.

Hence, I is implicit. Again, why did the management need to advise regarding use of computers? It is obvious that the management must be assuming it to be necessary.

Hence, II is also implicit.
