Question

Q. Statement: “Although no war was witnessed during the tenure of prime ministership of Mr. X, a large number of top bravery medals were conferred upon many cops in the name of curbing terrorism and eliminating terrorists of different organizations belonging to our own states.” – View of a citizen

Assumptions:
(I) It is disgraceful of cops to name the act of killing of terrorists of our own country as an act of bravery
(II) A war is less harmful for a country than menace of terrorism.

• A. Only assumption I is implicit
• B. Only assumption II is implicit
• C. Either I or II is implicit
• D. Neither I nor II is implicit
• E. Both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither I nor II is implicit

I is not valid because we don’t know whether the contrast expressed in the view is critical or merely a statement of fact. II, if at all an assumption, can only be false.
