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:
"There should not be any delay in filing a complaint. If a policeman is not helpful or harasses a woman, the victim should note his name and belt number and send a complaint to senior officials specifying the place where he was on duty."- Woman's cell lawyer
Assumptions:
I. Most of the victims are literate.
II. Senior officials will take disciplinary action against the guilty policemen.
-
- 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
How can an illiterate person wright the name and belt number of erring policemen? Hence, the speaker must be assuming I. Again, the instruction to send a complaint to senior officials implies that the speaker must be assuming II also.
