Question

Which assumptions are implied from the below statement?

Statement: Ritu is late for Taniya’s birthday.

Assumptions:

I: Taniya’s birthday was on 4^th June.

II: Taniya was waiting for Ritu.

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 birth date of Taniya.

Therefore, assumption I is not implicit.

However, the information available in the statement above is sufficient to assume that Taniya might be waiting for Ritu.

Therefore, assumption II is implicit.

Hence, Only II is implicit.
