Question and options
Directions: In the question, a statement is given, followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer:
Statement: Like a mad man, I decided to follow him.
Assumptions: I. I am not a mad man.
II. I am a mad man.
Assumptions: I. I am not a mad man.
II. I am a mad man.
- If only assumption I is implicit.
- If only assumption II is implicit.
- If either I or II is implicit.
- If neither I nor II is implicit.

Correct answer: A - If only assumption I is implicit.
'Like a mad man' is a simile: the speaker acted as a mad man would, which implies he is not actually mad (I). II contradicts the simile.
