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:
"Human rights are only for human beings, not for terrorists. It is an insult to human rights to protest on behalf of those found guilty of terrorism." - Mr X
Assumptions:
I. Terrorists do not deserve sympathy.
II. Act of terrorism is against humanity.
-
- 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 I and II are implicit. The speaker does not consider terrorists as human. He must be assuming II. Hence, II is implicit. Why is the speaker not in favour of using human rights to protest for those found guilty? He must be assuming I also.
