Question : 31

Statement:
“We are taking care of this historic house, putting our lives at risk.”

I. The house is more precious than human lives.
II. One takes utmost care of something when one puts one’s life at risk to do so.

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 person assumes that the historic house is more precious than his life. But assumption I includes all human lives.

Hence, I is not implicit. Again, caring for the house, putting lives to risk, implies that the speaker must be assuming II.

Question : 32

Statement:
The regulatory authority has set up a review committee to find out the reasons for unstable stock prices.
Assumptions:
I. The investors may regain confidence in stock market by this decision.
II. The review committee has the expertise to find out the causes for volatility in the stock market.

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)

Why a review committee to find out the reasons for unstable stock prices? Concerned authority must have assumed I.

Hence I is implicit. One does not entrust a work to another unless the former assumes that the latter has the efficiency to do that work.

Hence, II is also implicit.

Question : 33

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Answer: (a)

Why has the suspension of flights been mad for a limited period of four days? It must have been assumed by the authorities of X-Airlines that the crisis may be over after this limited period.

Hence, assumption I is implicit. II may or may not be an assumption.

Hence, II is not implicit.
