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:
"Before you hire a domestic help, get his/her background verified through us. Your family's safety depends on this simple step." - City police
Assumptions:
I. Police verification of domestic help is an effective step in crime prevention.
II. Verification of people's domestic help's antecedents is a simple process.
-
- 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
The request made by the city police to common people implies that the city police assumes that the verification of domestic help is necessary to put a tab on increasing rate of crime. Hence, I is implicit. Assumption II is also implicit. If it is a "simple step", the process involved must be simple.
