Discussion Forum : Statement & Assumptions
Question - Statement:
“Our study materials do not necessarily satisfy one’s greed but certainly satisfy one’s need to become a Probationary Officer (PO).”
— An advertisement of ‘X’ coaching Institute
Assumptions:
I. Need to become a PO can be satisfied with certain amount of efforts but one’s greed can not be satisfied with certainty.
II. Desires of most of the people (who aspire for PO) are not conducive to their real requirements.
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 E
Answer: (e)I is implicit; that is why the advertisement advocates to satisfy one’s need. II is also implicit because if study materials of ‘X’ coaching institute are capable of satisfying one’s need for PO, it must be capable of satisfying the real requirements of a true aspirant for PO. Hence, the speaker must be assuming II.
