Direction: In each question 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 following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
"When forces like the Special Operation Group (SOG) are set up, some excesses are bound to happen and some innocents suffer. But we should be satisfied with the success of this SOG."----View of a citizen of an area where SOG has launched its operation
Assumptions:
I. Seen in the larger interest of the people, agonies of the innocent is a small price to pay.
II. It is quite difficult for SOG to get the desired result without any negative impact.
-
- 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
Why are some excesses bound to happen? The speaker must be assuming II.
Again, to be satisfied with the success of SOG implies that the speaker must be assuming I also.
