Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven Statement: 'If you trouble me, I will slap you.' - A mom warns her child.
Assumptions:
I. With the warning, the child may stop troubling her. → Implicit
The mother is warning the child with the intent to make the child stop troubling her. The threat implies she assumes the child might change behavior as a result.
II. All children are basically naughty. → Not Implicit
The statement given is specific to this child. There is no generalization about all children being naughty. So, this assumption is not necessarily taken for granted in the statement.
Thus, Only assumption I is implicit.
Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
