Statement: Most people who stop smoking gain weight.
Assumptions:
- If one stops smoking, one will gain weight.
- If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight.
Only assumption I is implicit
Incorrect AnswerOnly assumption II is implicit
Incorrect AnswerEither I or II is implicit
Incorrect AnswerNeither I nor II is implicit
Correct AnswerBoth I and II are implicit
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
The statement talks of most people' and not 'all'.
So, I is not necessarily true. Thus, I is not implicit.
The condition, if one does not stop smoking,
cannot be deduced from the statement.
So, II is also not implicit.
