Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Only Assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This is a typical “gifting” scenario used to probe what makes an intention reasonable. A wants to gift Amar a Prem Chand novel. We must determine the minimal background beliefs that make A’s statement sensible without adding unnecessary specifics.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
The intention requires that the item type suits the occasion. It does not require exclusivity (recipient must not own it) or that the gifter be invited. Gifts can be sent even without attending the party, and duplicates are common; people still gift books despite possible prior ownership.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Even if Amar owns the novel or A is not invited, A’s statement remains coherent because the key suitability condition holds.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming a gift must be unique or that attendance is compulsory for gifting. Neither is logically required.
Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
