Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
Courts are no longer cathedrals. They are casinos where the throw of the dice matters.
Assumptions:
I. Nowadays, the courts do not provide justice to deserving people.
II. The courts are not fulfilling the objective for which they were established.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit.
- if only assumption II is implicit.
- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II is implicit.
- if both I and II are implicit.
- if only assumption I is implicit.
Correct Option: E
Both assumptions I and II have nearly same meaning. Clearly, the speaker is assuming that courts are not fulfilling the objective (provide justice to deserving people) for which they were established. The rich can change the judgment in their favour (throwing dice).
