Statement: “The government should regulate plastic usage strictly.” Assumptions: I. Plastic causes environmental damage. II. Regulations can reduce plastic usage.

1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
4. Neither I nor II

Correct answer: Both I and II

Solution

The recommendation to regulate plastic strictly assumes that plastic is harmful, otherwise regulation would not be justified. It also assumes that regulations can actually reduce plastic usage, because the proposed action aims at that outcome. Hence both assumptions are implicit.
