Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
It may sound harsh but it is true that people no longer feel safe in the hands of the police.
Assumptions:
I. Police are unable to protect the citizens.
II. There is no certainty of one's life in police custody.
-
- 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.
- if both I and II are implicit.
- if only assumption I is implicit.
Correct Option: C
From the term harsh it is clear that the speaker is assuming that the police are not serving the purpose for which they are there. The mining of the two assumptions is different. Hence either I or II.
