1. A great part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life

2. 50 percent of the measurable intelligence at age of 17 is already predictable by the age of four

Answer: A

Correct answer: Only assumption I is implicit

To warn that a lack of stimulation in the first years does lasting harm is to take for granted that much of a child’s intellectual development happens then - assumption I. Assumption II offers a precise figure the statement never mentions. Only I is implicit.

Statement: Shalini made an application to the bank for a loan of Rs. 1,80,000 by mortgaging her house to the bank and promised to repay it within five years.

Assumptions:

1. The bank has a practice of granting loans for Rs. 1,00,000 and above.

2. The bank accepts house as collateral security against such loans.

Assumptions:

1. People believe what is reported by the historians.

2. Historians are seldom expected to depict the truth.

Answer: A
