Statement: The police force in India is not ready to face a terrorist attack. The police force should be given intensive training.
Assumptions:
I. Intensive training will make the police force capable of facing a terrorist attack.
II. India has received intelligence reports confirming that the terrorists have planned to strike.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: (A) If only assumption I is implicit.
Explanation:
• Assumption I is implicit: When an action is recommended to solve a problem (giving intensive training so the police can face terrorist attacks), it is inherently assumed that the recommended action will be effective in achieving that objective. Hence, intensive training will help make the force capable.
• Assumption II is not implicit: The statement only discusses general preparedness and training of the police force. It does not mention or imply that any specific intelligence report regarding an imminent terrorist strike has been received.
Therefore, only Assumption I is implicit.
