Question - Statements Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: None of these.

The statement reports what the government did not do and attaches a purpose clause to it, which leaves the sentence ambiguous rather than informative. It does not establish what the farmers want, and it certainly does not settle anything about farmers in areas that were not drought-hit. Since none of the three offered conclusions can be drawn from what is actually said, the fourth is the answer.

Answer: B

Correct answer: It is the responsibility of Dr. Singh to control the food prices.

A person gives an assurance about a matter only where it falls within his authority to act, so his undertaking to take every possible action places the matter in his charge. The alternative asserts that prices will certainly come down, which is a prediction about the outcome; an assurance of effort is not a guarantee of result, and the statement promises the first, not the second.

Answer: B

Correct answer: If only assumption II is inplicit

To say that a book is for those interested in a subject is to assume that a book finds its readership among people already drawn to its subject - which is the general assumption II states. Assumption I is about readers interested in the author rather than the subject, a quite different motive that the sentence never raises.

Answer: A

Correct answer: If only assumption I is inplicit

Calling help to the poor a service presupposes that the poor stand in need of it; without that need there would be nothing to serve. Assumption II goes much further, making the failure to help a forfeiture of one’s humanity. The statement praises an action; it does not condemn those who omit it.

Answer: B

Correct answer: If only assumption II is inplicit

Remarking that the police have to cope with stress implies that this is a burden beyond what the duty properly requires - that is, that it would be reasonable for them to do the work without it, which is assumption II. Assumption I brings in the police of other countries, a comparison the statement neither makes nor needs.

Answer: B

Correct answer: If only assumption II is inplicit

The statement says children need to be equipped for a future task, and a recommendation is only meaningful if it can be acted on, so the possibility of educating them is assumed. Assumption I is a claim about the past, that the world has always educated children, which the statement neither states nor requires - it is precisely because the equipping may be lacking that the point is being made.

Answer: D

Correct answer: If both I and II are implicit

The sentence is framed as a complaint, and both assumptions lie behind that framing. Reporting that people have to go to the main market presents the journey as a burden, which presupposes the market is inconveniently far - assumption I - and that the residents would rather not make it, which is assumption II. Remove either and the observation would carry no complaint at all.

Answer: A

Correct answer: If only assumption I is inplicit

The promise is that the buyer will now be able to prepare dishes he could not prepare before, which locates the obstacle in the equipment rather than in the cook - so the advertisement assumes he already knows the recipes and lacked only a proper oven. Assumption II claims exclusivity for the brand, which the advertisement suggests as a selling point but does not need to assume; its appeal works equally well if other ovens would also serve.

Answer: A

Correct answer: If only assumption I is inplicit

Offering accommodation to outside candidates alone makes sense only if local candidates do not need it, so the company assumes they have somewhere to stay. Assumption II reverses the whole notice: a condition addressed to outside candidates would be pointless if the company intended to select none, so it contradicts rather than underlies the statement.

Answer: D

Providing anything for a solution automatically leads to the fact that the provider has assumed that neither it will disturb while working nor it has any adverse side effect, and that it will rather promote the work.
