Statement: "This drink can be had either as it is, or after adding ice to it." - An advertisement. Assumptions: People differ in their preferences. Some people will get attracted to the drink as it can be had as it is.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:


Given data

  • Ad: The drink can be had either as it is, or after adding ice.
  • Assumption I: People differ in their preferences.
  • Assumption II: Some people will be attracted because it can be had as it is.

Concept/Approach

Offering alternative modes targets varied tastes; it does not commit to which specific mode will attract customers.


Step-by-step reasoning
Giving two options presumes preference heterogeneity ⇒ I.No specific claim that 'as it is' (vs with ice) will attract people ⇒ II not necessary.


Verification/Alternative

The ad would still make sense even if the attraction came mainly from the 'with ice' option.


Common pitfalls

  • Assuming a particular option is the draw when the ad merely broadens appeal.

Final Answer
Only assumption I is implicit.
