  • Statement:
    "We are taking care of this historic house, putting our lives at risk." - A statement made by an employee of ASI
    Assumptions:

    II. One takes utmost care of something when one puts one's life at risk to do so.


  • Options

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

  • Correct Answer
  • if only assumption II is implicit. 

    Explanation

    The tone of the statement implies that the person assumes that the historic house is more precious than his life. But assumption I includes all human lives. Hence, I is not implicit. Again , caring for the house, putting lives to risk, implies that the speaker must be assuming II.
