Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer:
-
Statement:
Science is a sort of news agency comparable in principle to other news agencies. But this news agency gives us information which is reliable to an extraordinary high degree due to elaborate techniques of verification and its capacity to survive centuries. So, science should be read with as much interest as we read news.
Assumptions:
I. Science encourage investigative spirit
II. People read news out of interest.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit
- if only assumption II is implicit
- if either I or II is implicit
- if neither I nor II are implicit
- if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: E
the statement mentions that science is reliable as facts can be verified by investigation. So, I is implicit II follows directly from the last sentence in the statement and so it is also implicit.
