Statement: "You are hereby appointed as a programmer with a probation period of one year and your performance will be reviewed at the end of the period for confirmation." - A line in an appointment letter.

- The performance of an individual generally is not known at the time of appointment offer.
- Generally an individual tries to prove his worth in the probation period.

First is to look for context clues. What is the statement all about. In this statement, "acceptance to service". Then based on this, you now see the options if they say anything about the statement. Usually, if the option is a generalization, it is not true. If the option has no connection to the statement, then it is not the correct answer, of course.

Probation simply means given the employee a time frame to prove his/her worth to the employer. It is an implied term which is understandable though not directly expressed.
Also, reviewing his/her performance implied that he/she will be appraised after having gone through the given period to determine whether he/she deserves to be employed.
The two scenarios means that both are implicit. Implicit simply means an implied or to understand though not directly or clearly expressed.

Performance of an individual may be known on the basis of his performance in the written examination and interview. But since not enough indications are given in the statement itself we known nothing about whether performance is known or not.
Therefore I is not an assumption.
Therefore I is not an assumption.
