  • Question

  • Statement:
    Science is a sort of news agency comparable in principle to other news agencies.

So, science should be read with as much interest as we read news.

    I. Science encourage investigative spirit
    II. People read news out of interest.


  • Options
  • A. if only assumption I is implicit
  • B. if only assumption II is implicit
  • C. if either I or II is implicit
  • D. if neither I nor II are implicit

  • Correct Answer
  •
