Consider the given statement and state which of the given assumptions are implicit in the statement. Statement: The teacher said that student X is the most intelligent student in the class. Assumptions: 1. The teacher feels that the other students are not intelligent. 2. The teacher sees student X as the future teacher. Correct Answer Neither 1 nor 2 is implicit.
The statement highlights the teacher's opinion that X is the most intelligent among the students in the said class.
- From the statement, we can understand that X is more intelligent than the rest of the students. However, this does not imply that she thinks that the remaining students are not intelligent at all. Thus, assumption I is not implicit.
- The teacher sees student X as an intelligent one, but that does not imply that the teacher expects him to become a teacher in the future. Thus, assumption II is also not implicit.
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
