Statement: The situation in this area still continues to be tense and out of control. People are requested to stay in their homes only. Assumptions: I. There had been some serious incidents. II. People will not go to the office. III. Normalcy will be restored shortly. Which of the following assumptions is implicit?

1. Only I is implicit
2. I and II are implicit
3. None is implicit
4. I and III are implicit

Correct answer: I and II are implicit

Solution

If the area is tense and out of control, it implies that some serious incidents have already occurred. Asking people to stay at home also implies they will not go to the office. However, nothing in the statement guarantees that normalcy will be restored shortly. So, I and II are implicit.
