Given below is a statement followed by two assumptions I and II. Consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions are implicit in the statement. Statements: A teacher says to a student, "If you don't listen to me, I will punish you." Assumptions: I. After the warning the student might heed the teacher's words. II. Punishment is the best way to discipline the students. Correct Answer Only assumption I is implicit.

The statement talks about the warning that a teacher gave a student about listening to him/her or getting punished.

  • The word "might" is used in the statement. This indicates a possibility. A teacher would not give a warning if he thinks that the student will not heed his words. So, the teacher might have assumed that the warning will be effective. Therefore, assumption I is implicit.
  • Just because the teacher is using the threat of punishment to try and discipline the student, it cannot be termed as the best way to do the job. The statement does not indicate that the imposed punishment would be effective in disciplining the student. So, assumption II is not implicit.

Hence the correct answer is option 2.
