Question

Statement: The management of XYZ Pvt. Ltd. asked the workers' union to call off strike immediately otherwise the management would be forced to close down the factory.
Assumptions:
I. No alternative other than closing down the factory is left for the management of XYZ Pvt. Ltd
II. Such threat may have some effect on the workers' union.

• 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 B Only assumption II is implicit

Such a warning is usually given to the workers to threaten them that they would lose their job and income forever if they didn't mend their ways. So, only II is implicit.
