Consider the given statement and decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit in the statement. Statement: A father told his son, "Consult me once before deciding to take a job abroad". Assumptions: 1. The father wanted his son to go abroad. 2. If the son does not consult his father, he can take a wrong decision. Correct Answer Only Assumption 2 is implicit.

Assumption 1 is not implicit in the statement.

The statement states that the father is concerned for his son if he plans to go abroad, but it does not suggest that his father wants that his son must go abroad.

Assumption 2 is implicit in the statement.

The statement very clearly suggests that the father is concerned that his son might take a wrong decision and so he must consult him once before deciding to take a job abroad.

Hence, only Assumption 2 is implicit.
