Question : 25

Statement:
“God bless all the parents whose children passed away in the Yamuna waters.”

II. Some children have died by drowning.

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)

I is implicit: an atheist would not invoke god for blessings. II is not an assumption but a restatement: “passed away in the Yamuna waters” itself means “died by drowning in the Yamuna.”
