      Statement: “To increase the sales of our eco-friendly

      detergents, we should offer a ‘buy two, get one free’ discount for the next month.” — Marketing Manager of GreenClean Co. Assumptions: I. People will be attracted to the discount and buy more detergent. II. The company currently has enough stock to meet an increase in demand. III. Eco-friendly detergents are the only products the company sells.
      A Only assumption I is implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only assumption II is implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both assumptions I and II are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D All I, II, and III are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      An assumption is something taken for granted or accepted as true when making a statement. Assumption I is implicit because the very purpose of suggesting a discount is the belief that it will successfully drive consumer behavior and increase sales. Assumption II is implicit because one cannot logically propose a massive sales drive without assuming the operational capacity to fulfill those sales. Assumption III is NOT implicit because the statement specifically focuses on one product line. It does not imply anything about the existence or absence of other products in the company’s catalog. Hence, option C.
