    Question

    One statement is given followed by two assumptions, I & II. You have to consider the statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit in the given statement.
    Statement: Teachers should never scold students who make repeated mistakes.
    Assumptions:
    I. Students do not make repeated mistakes intentionally.
    II. Negative reinforcements are NOT a good method to improve student performance.

    A.

    Only assumption II is implicit

    B.

    Both I and II are implicit

    C.

    Only assumption I is implicit

    D.

    Neither I nor II is implicit

    Correct option is B


    Assumption I: "Students do not make repeated mistakes intentionally."
    If the statement advises against scolding, it implies that students making repeated mistakes may not be doing so deliberately. Hence, this assumption is implicit because scolding would be unjustified if the mistakes are unintentional.
    Assumption II: "Negative reinforcements are NOT a good method to improve student performance."
    The statement suggests that scolding (a form of negative reinforcement) is not recommended for improving student behavior. This implies a belief that alternative methods (positive reinforcement or constructive feedback) are better. Hence, this assumption is implicit.
