    Question

    Consider the given statements and decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit in the statement.
    Statement:
    "Drop the mail in the mailbox", said John to his assistant.
    Assumptions:
    1: The assistant knows the address where the mail needs to be sent.
    2: The assistant will follow orders.

    A.

    Only assumption 2 is implicit.

    B.

    Only assumption 1 is implicit.

    C.

    None of the assumptions is implicit.

    D.

    Both assumptions 1 and 2 are implicit.

    Correct option is A

    Statement:
    "Drop the mail in the mailbox", said John to his assistant.
    Assumptions:
    1: The assistant knows the address where the mail needs to be sent.
    The statement only mentions dropping the mail in the mailbox; it does not specify whether the assistant knows the address.
    The mailbox could be a general collection box, so this assumption is not necessarily implicit.
    2: The assistant will follow orders.
    ​John is instructing his assistant, implying that he expects the assistant to follow his orders.
    This assumption is implicit.
    Only assumption 2 is implicit.
    Thus, correct option is (a).
