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 assumptions is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
Instead of limiting capital punishment to the rarest of the rare cases, it should be made mandatory for crimes like murder, rape, drug trafficking, child molestation and all anti-national activities. If a person does not respect the law, let him at least fear it.
Assumptions:
I. When a man is sentenced to death for whatever crime he has committed, he should at least die a painless death.
II. A person convicted of a heinous crime deserves no kindness.
-
- 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: B
I is irrelevant. Hence I is not implicit. But II is implicit; that is why the speaker suggests the stringent punishment.
