Discussion Forum : Statement & Assumptions
Question - Statement:
India is suffering because citizens have given and taken votes based on caste/religion and not principles.
Assumptions:
I. The days of value-based voting are numbered in India.
II. The voting based on principles has the potential to nullify the problems created by the politics of caste and religion.
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 D
Answer: (d)I is not implicit because it implies that valuebased voting still prevails, though it does not have too long a future. But the statement clearly suggests that value-based voting is absent. What about Assumption II, which talks of the potential of value-based voting? Well, the only potential the speaker has in mind is that it’s a step in the positive direction. But can it undo what has been done? We don’t know.
