Statement: Apart from the entertainment value of television, its educational value cannot be ignored.

Assumptions:

  1. People take television to be a means of entertainment only.
  2. The educational value of television is not realised properly.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement makes the first assumption clear though educational value is not to be ignored. So, I is implicit. That the educational value must not be ignored also shows that educational value is not realised properly. So, II is also implicit.

Its a general statement so only II is implicit, as far as I is concerned there is nothing been spoken about people.

It is a general statement, that entertainment and educational benefits left to perception of individuals.

I'm not getting the connection between the statement and assumptions. Please, anyone, explain it.

Nothing is mentioned about the nature of people, so 1 can not be true.

Pratap said:   1 decade ago
1 can be true because people in general take it as an entertainment.
