Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the statement.
-
Statement:
Many historians have done more harm than good by distorting truth.
Assumption:
I. People believe what is reported by the historians.
II. Historians are seldom expected to depict the truth.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit.
- if only assumption II is implicit.
- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II are implicit.
- if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: A
The fact that historians have done harm by distorting truth, means that people believe what is reported by the historians. So, I is implicit. II does not follow from the statement and so is not implicit.
