Assumptions:
I. -Railways has failed to ensure adequate safety measures for its passengers.
II. Safety measures are likely to prevent railways mishaps in future.
-
- 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
The railway minister is assuming that previous ministers have failed in providing adequate safety to the passengers. That is why she will give more attention to safety, hoping that her step will prevent accident in future. Hence both the assumptions are implicit.
