In the given question, a statement is followed by two assumptions. You have to decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.
Statement: Over The Top (OTT) platform has become indispensable for the entertainment of people.
Assumptions:
I. People enjoy watching content on OTT.
II. OTT is the only medium of entertainment.
Solution
The statement indicates that OTT platforms have become indispensable for people's entertainment.
The word "indispensable" means essential or necessary. For something to become essential for entertainment, people must derive value and enjoyment from it.
Examining Assumption I: "People enjoy watching content on OTT."
If OTT has become indispensable for entertainment, it logically follows that people enjoy the content on these platforms. Something cannot become essential for entertainment unless it provides enjoyment.
This assumption is implicit in the statement.
Examining Assumption II: "OTT is the only medium of entertainment."
The statement says OTT is "indispensable" (essential), not that it is the "only" medium. Something can be indispensable while other alternatives still exist.
The statement does not claim exclusivity of OTT as an entertainment medium. It only emphasizes its importance.
This assumption is not implicit in the statement.
Only Assumption I is implicit in the given statement.
The correct answer is Option 2.
