Discussion
Statement: "The function will start at 3 P.M. You are requested to take your seats before 3 P.M." - Last sentence in an invitation card.
Assumptions:
1. If the invitee is not in his seat before 3 P.M., the function will not start.
2. The function will start as scheduled.
Answer: B
Correct answer: Only assumption II is implicit
The request presupposes that the function will begin at the hour announced - that is why guests are asked to be seated before it. Assumption I turns the request into a threat to delay the start, which is the opposite of what the card implies. Only II is implicit.
