Discussion Forum : Statement & Assumptions
Question - Statement:
Whenever I come to watch the match, India loses a wicket. So I will not see the crucial India-Pak match on Friday.
Assumptions:
I. My coming to watch is one cause of India losing a wicket.
II. India will win the match on Friday.
Options:
A .  if only assumption I is implicit.
B .  if only assumption II is implicit.
C .  if either I or II is implicit.
D .  if neither I nor II is implicit.
E .  if both I and II are implicit.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)First the author says that whenever he watches, India lose a wicket. Then he declares that “so” he will not see the next crucial match. The assumption here obviously is that if he doesn’t watch the match India will not lose wickets. In other words, his coming to watch is one cause of India losing a wicket. II is uncertain. No hint is made on winning or losing.
