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:
Being unable to accommodate adequate training session for the national team, country X has decided not to defend the LG Cup it won last year in the city Z.
Assumptions:
I. Without playing several matches against major soccer- playing nations, it will be futile to defend the LG Cup.
II. Underpreparedness of the team may result in failure for country X.
-
- 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
The tone of the statement implies that the speaker assumes training session is necessary for the team. Hence, assumption II is implicit. But the statement does not indicate what type of training session it should be. Hence, assumption I is not implicit.
