Discussion Forum : Statement & Assumptions
Question - Statement:
There can be no heroism without courage. But courage is characteristic of many kinds of people who are by no means heroes, such as pirates, robbers and blood-thirsty raiders.
Assumptions:
I. A person who risks or loses life only for the sake of some noble cause is a hero.
II. Heroism can not be thought of without some sort of violence.
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)The speaker is assuming I; that is why in spite of the courageous deeds of robbers, pirates, .... and other anti-social elements, they are not heroes. Courageous work can be undertaken in both violent and non-violent ways. Hence II is not implicit.
