Discussion
Statement:
I am surprised to find that every student is studying only English but not his or her mother tongue.
Assumptions:
I. It is a good sign that everybody is studying only English.
II. It is a bad sign that nobody is studying his or her mother tongue.
Answer: C
Correct answer: if either I or II is implicit.
The speaker reports being surprised, and surprise of this kind carries a judgement - but the sentence does not say which way. Read one way it is approval that English is universal; read the other it is regret that the mother tongue is neglected. One of the two evaluations must lie behind the remark, and the statement does not settle which, so the answer is that either is implicit.
