Discussion :: Statement and Assumption
-
Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer :
Statement : An advertisement: "Our shoes are for the rich."
Assumptions :
I. Many people like to be labelled as rich.
II. One can't become rich unless one has that brand of shoes.
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 A
Explanation :
The statement stresses on the point that this particular brand of shoes is worn by affluent and upper-class people as they are good-quality shoes. And an advertisement highlights the feature which most people desire. So, I is implicit. But it doesn't mean that one has to have those shoes to be called 'rich'. So, II is not implicit.
