Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : “If you want to give any advertisement, give it in the newspaper X.” – A tells B. Assumptions : I. B wants to publicise his products. II. Newspaper X has a wide circulation.

The correct answer is: Only assumption II is implicit.

Assumption I is not implicit because the statement does not say that B wants to publicise his products. It is possible that B wants to give an advertisement for some other reason, such as to inform people about a new product or service.

Assumption II is implicit because the statement says that A is recommending that B give his advertisement in newspaper X. This suggests that newspaper X has a wide circulation and that B is likely to reach a large number of people by advertising in that newspaper.

Here is a table that summarizes the assumptions and their validity:

| Assumption | Validity |
|—|—|
| I. B wants to publicise his products. | Not implicit |
| II. Newspaper X has a wide circulation. | Implicit |

I hope this helps!
