Question : 31

Statement:
A sign board is necessary which shows direction and distance..
Assumptions:
I. A sign board can be made without using any languages.
II. To show direction and distance only sign-board is a good media.

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)

Without using any language there is no use of any signboard as we writes on sign board. Secondly 'only' makes it weak so both assumptions are not implicit.

Question : 32

Statement:
Better understanding and cooperation among the exporters is needed. Effort should be to complement each other, rather than competing among themselves.
— View of an agriculturist
Assumptions:
I. Exporters stand to lose if they act as competitors.
II. Farmer-industry co-operation can work wonders.

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)

Why does the agriculturist focus on ‘better understanding’, ‘co-operation’ and ‘complementing’ among the exporters? He must be assuming I. Assumption II can’t be correlated with the statement.

Hence, II is not implicit.

Question : 33

Statement:
“Problems with your spouse and too little time to hash things out? Online couple therapy may be for you.”
— An advertisement
Assumptions:
I. People may have faith in online therapy.
II. Couples on the run expect comparable results from online “chats” mediated by a professional and face-to-face therapy on a psychologist’s couch.

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)

Why has such an advertisement been published by the advertiser? Definitely, the advertiser is assuming I. Assumption II is not implicit because it goes into details.

Question : 34

Statement:
The Government should engage the Army for the rapid rehabilitation of people affected by the cyclone.
Assumptions:
I. Only the Army can rehabilitate the people affected by the cyclone quickly.
II. The Army can take up works other than war also.

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)

Engaging the Army for the rehabilitation work by the government implies that the government assumes that the Army possesses the required ability to rehabilitate the affected people rapidly.

Hence, II is implicit but I is not implicit because of the word ‘only’.

Question : 35

Statement:
The civic authority has appealed to the citizens to cooperate in curbing rampant power theft in the locality.
Assumptions:
I. The local citizens group may respond to the request and form groups of people to detect such cases of power theft.
II. Those who are engaged in stealing power may stop doing so for fear of social castigation.

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)

Request made by civic authorities to the citizens implies that the authorities must be assuming that the citizens will respond positively. Now look at assumption I. It may or may not be an assumption because the way of responding by the citizens may not necessarily be the same as mentioned in the assumption.

Hence, assumption I is not implicit. Again, request made by the authorities implies that the authorities must be assuming that their effort will reduce the problem of power theft. Now, how can they assume this? Obviously, II is an assumption.
