Direction: In each of the questions below, is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement
    Please do not lean out of the running bus, a notice in a tourist bus.
    Assumptions
    I. Learning out of running bus is dangerous.
    II. The passengers are likely to pay attention to this notice.
    1. if only Assumption I is implicit
    2. if only Assumption II is implicit
    3. if either I or II is implicit
    4. if both Assumption I and II are implicit
Correct Option: D

'Do not lean out' implies that this act can be dangerous. Hence, Assumption II is implicit. The purpose of a notice is getting response from targeted mass. Therefore, without assuming response from targeted mass, there will be no such notice. Clearly, Assumption II is also valid.
