Understanding the Statement
The statement indicates that a fund is making a promise to double an investor's money within a year. This raises various assumptions that can be analyzed.
Evaluating Assumption I
- Assumption I: People are looking to grow their wealth.
- This assumption is implicit in the statement because the promise of doubling money appeals to individuals who are interested in increasing their financial assets. If people weren’t looking to grow their wealth, such a fund would not attract interest or investment. Therefore, this assumption is valid and aligns with the motivations of potential investors.
Evaluating Assumption II
- Assumption II: The fund is a scam.
- This assumption is not necessarily implicit in the statement. While some may view aggressive financial promises with skepticism, the statement itself does not provide evidence to conclude that the fund is a scam. Without additional context or information suggesting fraudulent intentions, assuming the fund is a scam is speculative and cannot be taken for granted.
Conclusion
In summary, only Assumption I is implicit in the statement about the fund promising to double investments. Investors seeking wealth growth would naturally consider such opportunities, while Assumption II lacks sufficient support to be deemed implicit. Thus, the correct answer is option 'A'—only assumption I is implicit.
