Statement: Let the secretary prepare a PowerPoint presentation for Rahul.
Assumptions:
I. Rahul is incapable of preparing a PowerPoint presentation himself.
II. The secretary is well versed with the operations of PowerPoint.
Choose the correct assumption which is/are implicit in the statement.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → If only II is implicit
An assumption is implicit when the person making the statement must take it for granted to say what he says.
I. Rahul is incapable of preparing a PowerPoint presentation himself. Not implicit. Rahul may be busy with other work, or preparing it may be the secretary’s job; asking someone else to do a task does not mean one cannot do it oneself.
II. The secretary is well versed with the operations of PowerPoint. Implicit. One asks a person to prepare a PowerPoint presentation only if one takes it for granted that the person knows how to use PowerPoint.
