Statement: His recent investment in the shares of Company A is only a gamble.

Assumptions:

1. He may incur loss on his investment.

2. He may gain from his investment.

  • 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: C

Correct answer: Either I or II is implicit

To call an investment a gamble is to say that the outcome is uncertain - it may go either way. So one of the two possibilities must be in the speaker’s mind, but the remark does not commit him to which. Either I or II is implicit.
