Question and options
Direction: The statement is followed by some assumptions. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. Consider the statement and decide which of the assumptions is/are implicit in it.
Statement: Vitamin E tablets improve circulation; keep your complexion in a glowing condition. Assumptions: I. People like a glowing complexion. II. Complexion becomes dull in the absence of circulation.
- Both are implicit.
- Only assumption I is implicit.
- Only assumption II is implicit.
- Either I or II is implicit
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - Both are implicit.
The advertisement assumes that people like a glowing complexion (I), or the promise would not sell the tablets. Linking better circulation to a glowing complexion presumes that the complexion becomes dull without good circulation (II). Both are implicit, so neither assumption alone is the full answer.
