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:
"I think illiterate and drunk drivers should not be employed, at least for children." - says X.
Assumptions:
I. Literacy helps in driving.
II. Children have a status equal to the adults.
-
- 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: A
I is implicit: the proposal that drivers employed should not be illiterate has to be based on this assumption. II is not implicit. In fact, the assumption is just the contrary. The use of "at least for children" assumes that children are or should be privileged ones.
