Question : 32

Statement:
The police has served a notice to the residents with immediate effect to be careful of the antisocial elements wandering in their areas.
Assumptions:
I. The local residents may pay heed to this notice.
II. The antisocial elements may ply to other areas.

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: (a)

The notice has been aimed at reducing criminal activities. How can the criminal activities be reduced without people’s participation?

Hence, the police must be assuming I. But we are not sure about II.

Hence, II is not implicit.
