Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement
    The Government announced a heavy compensation package for all the victims of the terrorist attacks.
    Assumptions
    I. Such incidents of terror may not occur in near future.
    II. Compensation may mitigate the anger among the citizens against the current Government.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit
    2. if only assumption II is implicit
    3. if either Assumption I or II is implicit
    4. if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: B

Assumption I is not implicit as it has no connection with the given statement. Infact compensation cannot be solution to terrorist attack. Assumption II is implicit because compensation is a way of sympathising with the victims.
