Statement: 'The government should strictly regulate the use of plastic.' Assumptions: I. Plastic causes harm to the environment. II. Regulation can reduce plastic usage. Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

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

Correct answer: Both I and II are implicit

Solution

The recommendation to strictly regulate plastic assumes that plastic is harmful, otherwise regulation would not be justified. It also assumes that regulation can help reduce plastic use, which is the purpose of the recommendation. Hence, both assumptions are implicit.
