Examine the statement and determine which assumptions are logically implied or necessary for the statement to hold true.
Statement: Workplace diversity training should be mandatory to foster inclusivity.
Assumption I
Diversity training promotes an inclusive work environment.
Assumption II
Some workplaces lack inclusivity.
Assumption III
Diversity training is the only way to achieve inclusivity.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
• Assumption I is implicit: Recommending diversity training to foster inclusivity inherently assumes that such training is effective in promoting an inclusive environment.
• Assumption II is implicit: The need to make training mandatory indicates that inclusivity is currently lacking or needs improvement in some workplaces.
• Assumption III is not implicit: The statement recommends training as an effective measure, but does not claim that it is the only way to achieve inclusivity (extreme assumption).
Therefore, only I and II are implicit.
