Statement–Assumption — “Read this book to get detailed and most comprehensive information on this issue.” Assumptions: I) The person seeking information can read. II) There are other books available on this issue. Choose the implicit assumption(s).

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: If only Assumption I is implicit

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The imperative “Read this book” is targeted at someone who desires comprehensive information. For the advice to be actionable, the audience must be capable of reading. Comparison with other books is not necessary to justify the recommendation.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Goal: obtain detailed, comprehensive information.
  • Means recommended: reading this particular book.


Concept / Approach:
Assumption I is a practical precondition—if the person cannot read, the recommendation fails at the starting gate. Assumption II is unnecessary; the text claims sufficiency (“this book”), not superiority against many alternatives.


Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify minimal capability required (literacy).2) Recognize that the existence of other books is irrelevant to the internal logic of the advice.


Verification / Alternative check:


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Picking II (or either) injects an unneeded comparative assumption; “neither” ignores the obvious literacy precondition.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “comprehensive” with “comparative” and requiring market context where none is needed.


Final Answer:
Only Assumption I is implicit.
