Practicing Success
The below statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have considered the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer (a) if only assumption I is implicit ; (b) if only assumption II is implicit ; (c) if either I or II is implicit ; (d) if neither I nor II is implicit Statement : If you have any problems, bring them to me. Assumption : I. You have some problems. |
a c d b |
b |
The statement "If you have any problems, bring them to me" implies that the speaker can solve problems, i.e. assumption II is implicit. It does not necessarily mean that you have some problems, i.e. assumption I is not implicit. Thus, (b) is correct. |
