Direction:In the question below is given a statement followed by two a...
Statement:
The chairman and secretary of the housing society have requested society members to use water economically to help society save on water tax.
Assumptions:
I. Majority of members of society are likely to follow the request.
II. The chairman and secretary wish to reduce expenses wherever possible.
Explanation:
Assumption I: Majority of members of society are likely to follow the request.
This assumption is implicit because the statement mentions that the chairman and secretary have requested society members to use water economically. The request implies that the chairman and secretary believe that the majority of members are likely to follow the request. If they did not believe in the likelihood of members following the request, there would be no point in making the request in the first place. Therefore, assumption I is implicit.
Assumption II: The chairman and secretary wish to reduce expenses wherever possible.
This assumption is also implicit because the statement mentions that the chairman and secretary have requested society members to use water economically to help society save on water tax. The request implies that the chairman and secretary are concerned about the expenses incurred by the society, specifically the water tax. By asking members to use water economically, they are trying to reduce the water tax expenses. Therefore, assumption II is implicit.
Inference:
Both assumptions I and II are implicit in the given statement. The chairman and secretary believe that the majority of members will follow the request to use water economically, and they are motivated to reduce expenses wherever possible, including the water tax.
