Discussion
Statement: Science is a sort of news agency comparable in principle to other new agencies. But this news agency gives us information which is reliable to an extraordinary high degree due to elaborate techniques of verification and its capacity to survive centuries. So, science should be read with as much interest as we read news.
Assumptions:
1. Science encourages investigative spirit.
2. People read news out of interest.
Answer: E
Correct answer: Both I and II are implicit
The argument rests on both: that science’s methods of verification make its reports trustworthy, and that having lasted for centuries is itself a mark of that reliability - the two grounds on which the comparison with a news agency is pressed. Both are implicit.
