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:
"Beware! Recycled coloured plastic bags contain harmful colour pigments, which, on coming in contact with food particles, make food unfit for consumption, resulting in severe food poison, allergies and in extreme cases even death." - A scientist
Assumptions:
I. Non - biodegradability nature makes plastic bags an environmental hazard.
II. Use of plastic bags is harmful and has cascading effects on human life.
-
- 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: B
Non-biodegradable nature of plastic bag can't be correlated with the statement because the statement does not say whether plastic is biodegradable or nonbiodegradable. Hence, I is not implicit. But II is obviously implicit. That is why the scientist uses the word 'Beware' in his statement before asserting the negative features of plastic bags.
