Read the following statement carefully and identify the assumption that follows.
Statement:
A school circular states: "Mobile phones are not allowed inside classrooms."
Assumptions:
I. Phones distract students.
II. Students often bring phones to class.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Both are implicit.
Assumptions:
I. Implicit (because rules are usually made based on a reason. If phones are banned, it is likely because they disturb concentration or reduce attention in class.)
II. Implicit (because a restriction is only needed if the situation actually exists. If students were not carrying phones, there would be no need for such a rule.)
