c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

Assumption I is ruled out because of the word only. But II is implicit because without considering this factor relocation won’t make sense

Question : 27

Statement:
Please send an official letter rather than semiofficial on this subject this time.
Assumptions:
I. The format and emphasis of different types of letters is different.
II. We can send different types of letters on the same subject.

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.

Question : 28

Statement:
Because of the large number of potholes in road X, reaching airport in time has become difficult..
Assumptions:
I. Reaching airport in time may not be always necessary.
II. There is no other convenient road to the airport.

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)

  1. INVALID: Not related to the statement. There is no proof in the statement about reaching airport all the time being a necessity
  2. VALID: Root Cause. Since the author focuses on the fact that because of too many potholes on road X, it is difficult to reach the airport on time shows that there is no other convenient road which can be opted for.

Question : 29

Statement:
“I want Multinational Companies (MNCs) to be out of the water business. I don’t mind them in road construction or some other areas.”
— Statement of a waterman while educating the people on the community’s water right
Assumptions:
I. Water is basic to life and the community should own it.
II. The MNCs are on the prowl to buy the rivers.

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)

Since the given statement has been made by the waterman while educating people on the community’s right, the waterman must be assuming indulgence of MNCs in water business as disastrous for the people. Note that the speaker is not averse to indulgence of MNCs in road construction or some other areas. This implies water business has some special importance.

Hence assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit because the indulgence of MNCs does not necessarily imply that they are going to buy the rivers.

Question : 30

Statement:
We protect other living things such as plants and animals because they are not really any threat to us.
Assumptions:
I. Carnivorous animals are not a threat to us.
II. Man is strongest and wisest among all living creatures.

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)

I is not implicit: the statement has nothing to do with what the animals eat. II is not implicit because (a) merely giving protection does not fit one with these attributes; and (b) even if (a) were true, we are not protecting all the animals.
