Question

Which assumptions are implied from the below statement?

Statement: Jerry blindly followed Peter’s instructions.

Assumptions:

I: Jerry is a fitness coach by profession.

II: Jerry might regret taking decisions under someone’s influence.

1. Only I is implicit.
2. Only II is implicit.
3. Both I and II are implicit.
4. Neither I nor II is implicit.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Only II is implicit.

From the information above we cannot assume the profession of Jerry.

Therefore, assumption I is not implicit.

However, the information available in the statement above is sufficient to assume that Jerry might regret taking decisions under someone’s influence as it can turn both right and wrong.

Therefore, assumption II is implicit.

Hence, Only II is implicit.
