Statement: Believe me, I have read it in newspaper X.

Assumptions:

1. Newspaper X gives reliable information/news.

2. I am reporting exactly as it is given in newspaper X

Answer: B

Correct answer: Only assumption II is implicit

“Believe me” is an appeal to the speaker’s own accuracy: he takes for granted that he is repeating what the paper said - assumption II. Assumption I, that the paper is reliable, is what the hearer is being asked to grant, not what the speaker assumes. Only II is implicit.

Assumptions:

1. The written examination is good mainly for mediocre students.

2. The brilliant and industrious students cannot always write good answers in the exam

Answer: B

Statement: The government has decided to hold the employers responsible for deducting tax at source for all its employees.

Assumptions:

1. The employers may still not arrange to deduct tax at source for its employees.

2. The employees may not allow the employers to deduct tax at source.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
