Question

Consider the statement given below and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is/are implicit in the statement.
Statement:
You know that your shirt is excellent when people ask about your tailor who tailored the shirt.
Assumptions:
I. People do not ask about your tailor if your shirt is not good.
II. People want to know the criteria of an excellent shirt.

• A. Only Assumption I is implicit
• B. Only Assumption II is implicit
• C. Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
• D. Both Assumptions I and II are implicit

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The statement implies that people ask about the tailor because they are impressed by the shirt, which suggests that the shirt’s quality is good. Assumption I is implicit because it explains why people ask about the tailor. 
Assumption II is not necessarily implied by the statement.
