Statement: I heard the news as soon as I woke up in the morning. I felt shattered. Assumptions: I. The incident took place before I woke up. II. The news was shocking.

Question

Accepted Answer

Consider this statement: "I heard a shocking news and felt shattered." Then the assumption is: "Shocking news shatters a person."
