Question : 17

Statement:
The government has instructed all the private schools in the city to maintain the current fees for at least two more years.
Assumptions:
I. The authorities of private schools may not follow the govt instruction as they are not dependent on govt funds.
II. The parents of the students of private schools of the city may still be eager to pay higher fees.

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)

Whenever an instruction is given, it is assumed that it may be followed.

Hence I is not implicit. II is also not implicit. If at all the govt does assume something about the parents, it is to the contrary: that the parents may not be able to pay higher fees.

“If you are serious about professional photography and committed to taking the next step, Advanced Studies Classes at photography institutes will teach you what you need to know to get started.”

II. Professional photographers at the institutes offer hands-on instruction, opportunities to enhance portfolios, and lifelong contacts that can help students build careers in photography.

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 person A is certainly assuming that to get started one needs some teaching.

Hence I is clearly an assumption. But nothing is said about professional photographers’ contribution.

Hence II is not an assumption.

Question : 19

Statement:
If the government wants to stop child marriages, why not pass a law incorporating a clause that marriages so solemnised will be illegal and treated as child rape?

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 statement is in the form of a suggestion and it is aimed at stopping child marriages. Note that one does not suggest any initiative to remove a problem unless he assumes the problem is still in existence.

Hence, I is implicit. Now, why a severe punishment? The speaker must be assuming. II.

Hence, II is also implicit.
