Statement: "If you trouble me, I will slap you." - A mother warns her child.

Assumptions:

1. With the warning, the child may stop troubling her.

2. All children are basically naughty.

  • A.Only assumption I is implicit
  • B.Only assumption II is implicit
  • C.Either I or II is implicit
  • D.Neither I nor II is implicit
  • E.Both I and II are implicit

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only assumption I is implicit

A warning is given in the expectation that it will work, so the mother assumes the child may stop - assumption I. Assumption II generalises about all children, which the remark to one child does not require. Only I is implicit.
