Question : 1

Statement:
Lalit’s mother instructed him to return home by train if it rains heavily.
Assumptions:
I. Lalit may not be able to decide himself if it rains heavily.

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)

Lalit’s mother is instructing him what course to take if it rains heavily. Clearly, she assumes his incompetence in taking a decision of his own.

Hence II is implicit.

Statement:
Being unable to accommodate adequate training session for the national team, country X has decided not to defend the LG Cup it won last year in the city Z.
Assumptions:
I. Without playing several matches against major soccer-playing nations, it will be futile to defend the LG Cup.
II. Underpreparedness of the team may result in failure for country X.

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: (b)

The tone of the statement implies that the speaker assumes training session is necessary for the team.

Hence, assumption I is not implicit.
