Statement & Assumption — A recruitment letter for written exams states: “You have to bear your expenses on travel, etc.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. If not clarified, candidates may claim reimbursement of such expenses. II. Many organizations reimburse travel expenses for written tests.

Difficulty: Easy

if only Assumption I is implicit
if only Assumption II is implicit
if neither I nor II is implicit
if both I and II are implicit
None of these

Correct Answer: if only Assumption I is implicit

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
The organizer explicitly states that travel expenses are to be borne by candidates. We test which premise is required for including such a line.

Concept / Approach:
Assumption I is necessary: without this clarification, some candidates could assume reimbursement and later claim it. Assumption II is not necessary; even if only a few organizations reimburse, making the policy explicit still prevents misunderstandings.
