Q174

Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : An advertisement: "Our shoes are for the rich." Assumptions : I. Many people like to be labelled as rich. II. One can't become rich unless one has that brand of shoes.

A.
Only assumption I is implicit
Answer
B.
Only assumption II is implicit
C.
Either I or II is implicit
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit
E.
Both I and II are implicit

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The statement stresses on the point that this particular brand of shoes is worn by affluent and upper-class people as they are good-quality shoes. And an advertisement highlights the feature which most people desire. So, I is implicit. But it doesn't mean that one has to have those shoes to be called 'rich'. So, II is not implicit.
