Question

Statement: Believe me, I have read it in newspaper X.
Assumptions:
I. Newspaper X gives reliable information/news.
II. I am reporting exactly as it is given in newspaper X.

• 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

Answer: (B)

Only assumption II is implicit

The narrator in the statement clearly insists on the reliability of the fact that what he said, he had read it in newspaper X, and not on the truth of what he said. So, only II is implicit
