Question
In the 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: Lack of stimulation in the first four or five years of life can have adverse consequences.
Assumption I: A great part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life.
Assumption II: 50 percent of the measurable intelligence at age 16 is predictable by the age of four.
Options
if only I assumption is implicit.
if only assumption II is implicit.
if neither I nor II is implicit.
if both I and II are implicit.
Solution
if neither I nor II is implicit.
Explanation:
Neither of the assumptions is valid. The statement does not talk about the development of observed intelligence or measurable intelligence and such stuff. These are irrelevant to the statement and the statement lacks information to consider these assumptions valid.
