Question : 1

Statement:
"Private property, trespassers will be prosecuted"- A notice on a plot of land..
Assumptions:
I. The passerby may read the notice and may not trespass.
II. The people are scared of prosecution.

a) If only assumption I 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)

  1. VALID: Desired outcome. At the time of putting up the notice, the author must have assumed people would read it and desired that people may not trespass
  2. VALID: Root Cause. The author cautioned the people about the prosecution by assuming that people will be scared of it.

Question : 2

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 II is implicit. But the statement does not indicate what type of training session it should be.

Hence, assumption I is not implicit.

Question : 3

Statement:
If children are to manage our world in future, then they need to be equipped 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)

I is not implicit because we don’t know whether the statement is based on past experience. II is implicit because education is very important in equipping the children.

Question : 4

Statement:
The municipal authority blocked movement of traffic in and around the temple on the main festival day.
Assumptions:
I. Very large number of devotees may visit the temple on the main festival day.
II. People travelling to the areas near the temple may postpone their journey by a day unless they have very urgent work in that area.

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.

Answer: (e)

I is implicit as the cause of blocking the traffic. II is implicit because whenever we plan something, we assume that the conditions may be favourable enough.

Question : 5

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.
II. The trains may ply even 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 I is implicit. Returning by train is possible only when the trains ply.

Hence II is implicit.
