Discussion :: Statement and Assumption
-
Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :
Statement : The two countries have signed a fragile pact, but the vital sovereignty issue remains unresolved.
Assumptions :
I. The two countries cannot have permanent peace pact.
II. The two countries may become hostile again after a short spell of time.
A.
Only assumption I is implicit |
B.
Only assumption II is implicit |
C.
Either I or II is implicit |
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit |
E.
Both I and II are implicit |
Answer : Option B
Explanation :
From the fact that the present pact is not a lasting one, the possibility of a permanent pact cannot be ruled out. So, I is not implicit. The statement mentions that the present pact is a 'fragile' one and the vital sovereignty issue still remains unresolved. So the same issue may rise again in the future. Thus, II is implicit.
