Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : “Television X – the neighbour’s envy, the owner’s pride” – A T.V. advertisement. Assumptions : I. Catchy slogans appeal to people. II. People are envious of their neighbours superior possessions. III. People want to be envied by their neighbours.

Only I and II are implicit
Only II and III are implicit
Only I and III are implicit
All are implicit E. None of these

The correct answer is: Only I and II are implicit.

The statement “Television X – the neighbour’s envy, the owner’s pride” is an advertisement for a television. The advertisement is trying to persuade people to buy the television by suggesting that it is a superior product that will make people envious of the owner.

Assumption I is that catchy slogans appeal to people. This is a reasonable assumption, as catchy slogans are often used in advertising to make products more memorable.

Assumption II is that people are envious of their neighbours superior possessions. This is also a reasonable assumption, as envy is a common human emotion.

Assumption III is that people want to be envied by their neighbours. This is a less reasonable assumption, as not everyone wants to be the center of attention or to be envied by others.

Therefore, only assumptions I and II are implicit in the statement.
