Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : A line in an advertisement in a newspaper – “You really get your money’s worth when you buy from our shop.” Assumptions : I. Other shops price goods above their worth. II. People want full value for their money.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit E. Both I and II are implicit

The correct answer is: Only assumption II is implicit.

The statement “You really get your money’s worth when you buy from our shop” is an advertisement. Advertisements are designed to persuade people to buy a product or service. In order to be persuasive, an advertisement must make an implicit assumption about the audience. In this case, the implicit assumption is that people want full value for their money. This assumption is necessary because the advertisement is trying to convince people that they will get full value for their money if they buy from the shop.

The other assumption, that other shops price goods above their worth, is not necessary for the advertisement to be persuasive. The advertisement could be just as persuasive if it simply said that people will get full value for their money at the shop, without making any comparison to other shops. Therefore, only assumption II is implicit.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

  • Option A: Only assumption I is implicit. This is the correct answer. Assumption I is necessary for the advertisement to be persuasive, but assumption II is not.
  • Option B: Only assumption II is implicit. This is not the correct answer. Assumption II is not necessary for the advertisement to be persuasive.
  • Option C: Either I or II is implicit. This is not the correct answer. Only assumption II is implicit.
  • Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit. This is not the correct answer. Assumption II is implicit.
  • Option E: Both I and II are implicit. This is not the correct answer. Only assumption II is implicit.
