Statements & Assumptions

Easy

In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Statement: It is desirable to put the child in school at the age of 5 or so.

Assumptions:

I. At that age the child reaches appropriate level of development and is ready to learn.

II. The schools do not admit children after six years of age.

Only assumption I is implicit

Only assumption II is implicit

Either I or II is implicit

Neither I nor II is implicit

✅ Correct Option: 1

Only assumption I follows. At age 5, a child's mind matures enough to be able to understand things around him, hence an appropriate age to join school.

Assumption II is just false.
