Question

The question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II, and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted, you have to consider the statement and the assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

Statement

• The situation of this area still continues to be tense and out of control. People are requested to be in their homes only.

Assumptions

1. There had been some serious incidents.
2. People will not go to the office.
3. Normality will be restored shortly.

Options

• All are implicit

• None is implicit

• Only I is implicit

• I and II are implicit

Answer 1

I and II are implicit

Explanation:

The situation is tense, it means that some serious incident has occurred. Hence, Assumption I is implicit. Secondly, it is given that the situation still continues to be tense and people have been requested to be inside the home. Hence, Assumption II is implicit. Assumption III is rubbish and has no relation to the given statement. Hence, Ill is an invalid assumption.
