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:
One of the groups of militants of our organisation, which had been successful in making its way into the Indian territory, kidnapped a local resident of the area and forced him to act as a guide.
Assumptions:
I. Local residents of a particular area possess good knowledge about the path in and around the area.
II. Despite the use of force against an individual, he or she may guide properly and accurately.
-
- 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.
Correct Option: E
Assumption I is implicit. That is why the militants kidnapped the local resident. Assumption II is also implicit. Otherwise the militants would not have faith in the resident.
