Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The government has set up a fact finding mission to look into the possible reasons for the recent violence in the area. Assumptions : I. The mission may be able to come up with credible information about the incidents. II. The people in the area may cooperate with the mission and come forward to give detailed information related to the incidents.

The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is implicit

The statement “The government has set up a fact finding mission to look into the possible reasons for the recent violence in the area” does not explicitly state that the mission will be able to come up with credible information or that the people in the area will cooperate with the mission. However, it is reasonable to assume that the government would not set up a fact finding mission if they did not believe that it would be able to gather useful information. Additionally, it is also reasonable to assume that the government would hope that the people in the area would cooperate with the mission. Therefore, both assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

• Option A: Only assumption I is implicit

This option is incorrect because assumption II is also implicit in the statement. As explained above, it is reasonable to assume that the government would hope that the people in the area would cooperate with the mission.

• Option B: Only assumption II is implicit

This option is also incorrect because assumption I is also implicit in the statement. As explained above, it is reasonable to assume that the government would not set up a fact finding mission if they did not believe that it would be able to gather useful information.

• Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit

This option is incorrect because both assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement. As explained above, it is reasonable to assume that the government would hope that the people in the area would cooperate with the mission, and it is also reasonable to assume that the government would not set up a fact finding mission if they did not believe that it would be able to gather useful information.

• Option E: Both I and II are implicit

This option is correct because both assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement. As explained above, it is reasonable to assume that the government would hope that the people in the area would cooperate with the mission, and it is also reasonable to assume that the government would not set up a fact finding mission if they did not believe that it would be able to gather useful information.
