The question given below consists of a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and then consider the two assumptions together and decide which of them logically follow(s) beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statement:

Now a days harassment of women in public is increasing day by day.

Assumptions:

I. Easy access to media such as internet results in the corruption of the minds of the youth.

II. Moral education is not properly imparted in the school and college levels.

According to the given statement,

Assumption I: This is not implicit, because nothing is discussed about the relationship between internet and harassment of women.

Assumption II: This is implicit, because harassment of women is clearly a result of lack of moral values. Therefore, it can be assumed that moral education is not being imparted properly at many level.

Mistake Points

Note: Moral education is not properly imparted in the school and college levels. It addresses the broader issue of education and its potential impact on societal behavior.

Hence, “only assumption II” is implicit.

Important Points An Assumption is the missing link of the logical structure of an argument. It is left unsaid and therefore, assumed.
