Discussion
Read the statement given and decide which of the given assumption(s) is/are implicit.
Statement:
Class teacher announced in the class that there will be a class test on first Saturday of next month.
Assumptions:
I. Students can prepare for the test till that day.
II. The school will remain open on that day.
Choose the correct answer from below given options:
Answer: C
The answer is Both I and II are implicit.
An assumption is implicit if the statement takes it for granted. By announcing the test well in advance, the teacher assumes students can use the time until then to prepare (I). By fixing the test for a particular Saturday, the teacher assumes the school will be open that day, since a test cannot be held in a closed school (II).
Both assumptions underlie the announcement, so options that accept only one, or neither, are wrong.
