Statement & Assumption — “Who rises from prayer a better person has had his prayer answered.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. Prayer makes a person more humane/better. II. Prayer atones all our misdeeds.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: if Assumption I is implicit

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The aphorism equates an inner moral improvement after prayer with an “answered” prayer. We must identify which belief is built in.


Concept / Approach:
Assumption I is implicit: the yardstick of “answered” is becoming a better person, which presumes prayer can transform character. Assumption II is not implicit; the statement does not claim complete atonement for all misdeeds—only that transformation is the meaningful outcome.


Final Answer:
if Assumption I is implicit
