Statement–Assumption (Ad: Wanted 2-Bedroom Flat in Court Area for Immediate Possession): Statement: “Wanted a two-bedroom flat in the Court area for immediate possession,” — a classified advertisement. Assumptions: I) Such flats are (or may be) available in the Court area. II) Some people will respond to the advertisement. III) It is standard practice to advertise such requirements.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: I and II are implicit

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Classified ads express demand and attempt to elicit supply. The ad aims to attract potential sellers/agents with a suitable 2-BHK in the specified locality for immediate transfer.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Requirement: 2-bedroom flat, Court area, immediate possession.
  • Channel: public advertisement.


Concept / Approach:
For the ad to be sensible, the advertiser must believe (a) such properties exist or could become available, and (b) advertising will reach and prompt potential respondents. Whether advertising is “standard practice” is irrelevant to the ad’s logic.



Step-by-Step Solution:
I: If no such flats could be available, the ad would be futile. Implicit.II: Ads presume responses; otherwise there is no point spending to post them. Implicit.III: The normativity of the practice (whether it is standard) does not matter; even novel methods can be attempted. Not implicit.



Verification / Alternative check:
Marketplace communications rest on existence and reach, not on tradition.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only II” ignores availability; “All” adds an unnecessary custom-practice claim; “None” denies both core premises.



Common Pitfalls:
Conflating “usual practice” with “necessary for this ad to make sense.”



Final Answer:
I and II are implicit.
