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:
"Always use zebra crossings and subways to cross the road safely." - A notice by the City Traffic Police
Assumptions:
I. Road safety is not an option but a must for pedestrians.
II. Safety can be increased by making people aware of tips regarding road safety.
-
- 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. Why did the city traffic police need to issue such a notice? It must have assumed II. Again the word 'always' used in the notice makes I implicit.
