Question
In the following 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: “Please use the stairs instead of the elevator during the fire drill,” the safety officer announced to the employees. Assumptions: I. The employees are physically able to use the stairs. II. Using the stairs is safer than using the elevator in an emergency situation.Solution
The safety officer instructs everyone to use the stairs for the drill. This instruction assumes that the employees have the capability to follow it and use the stairs. Hence, Assumption I is implicit. The instruction also presumes a reason for the change in routine—specifically that elevators are not the appropriate or safe choice during a fire emergency. If the officer didn't believe stairs were the safer or necessary alternative, the instruction would not have been given. Thus, Assumption II is implicit. Therefore, both assumptions are implicit.
