Critical Reasoning — Assumptions Directive (Director to Faculty): “We must be prepared to face any eventuality, and all the assignments must be completed as per their schedule.” Which assumptions are implicit?

Introduction / Context:
The instruction stresses preparedness for contingencies and adherence to schedules. We must identify what is taken for granted.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• I: There is a possibility of a serious eventuality.
• II: Dates are fixed for all the assignments.
• III: Faculty members are supposed to complete all the assignments.

Concept / Approach:
Such directions presuppose a plausible risk, defined timelines, and role responsibilities. Without these, the directive would lack meaning or enforceability.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) If no eventuality were possible, urging preparedness would be unnecessary. Hence I is implicit.2) To insist on completion “as per their schedule,” those assignments must have fixed schedules. Therefore II is implicit.3) The directive presumes faculty are responsible for the assignments in question. Otherwise, the command would be misdirected. Thus III is implicit.

Verification / Alternative check:
Negate I, II, or III and the instruction becomes meaningless: no risk, no schedules, or no responsibility would each defeat the order.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Only I / Only III / “Duly II and III”: Each omits at least one necessary element.
• None: ignores all three presuppositions.

Common Pitfalls:
Do not ignore the pragmatic context of managerial directives: risk, timelines, and roles are assumed.

Final Answer:
All are implicit
