If girls are not taught self-defence, they cannot become confident individuals. II. If girls learn self-defence, they would be more prepared to face any unforeseen circumstance. In each question below a statement is given followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.Solution
Statement: "For a safer world, there is a crucial requirement to teach self-defence to girls from an early age, so that they grow up to become self-reliant, strong and confident individuals." Assumption I. If girls are not taught self-defence, they cannot become confident individuals. This assumption extends the statement to a generalization that self-defence is a prerequisite for confidence. While the statement emphasizes the importance of self-defence in fostering self-reliance, strength, and confidence, it does not explicitly claim that self-defence is the only way for girls to become confident individuals. Thus, Assumption I stretch the statement's intention and is not necessarily implicit in the statement. Assumption  II. If girls learn self-defence, they would be more prepared to face any unforeseen circumstance. This assumption is closely aligned with the statement's core message. By advocating for self-defence education from an early age, the statement implies that such training prepares individuals to handle unforeseen circumstances with more confidence and strength. Therefore, Assumption II is a reasonable inference from the statement and can be considered implicit in it. Conclusion: Assumption II is implicit in the statement, whereas Assumption I is not necessarily implied.
