Discussion
In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement :
Proctor department has instructed all students to stop ragging within college premises.
Assumption:
I. The student may stop ragging in the college premises
II. The student may continue the ragging in the college premises.
Answer: A
Only assumption I is implicit. When a department instructs students to stop ragging on the premises, the person giving the instruction takes it for granted that the students are able to stop, that is, that they may stop ragging. Assumption I is therefore implied by the instruction. Assumption II says students may continue ragging. An instruction to stop is given so that it will not continue, and the statement does not assume that continuing is acceptable, so II is not an assumption of the statement. Since only I is implicit, the either-or and neither options are wrong.
