Consider the given argument and decide which of the given assumptions is (are) implicit. Argument: Y advised X that if he/she wants to study Management, he/she should join IIM Assumptions: 1. IIM provides good Management education 2. X listens to the advice given by Y. Correct Answer Both 1 and 2 are implicit.

Note:

When you are advising someone, you can assume that the person is willing to listen to your advise. That is, the possibility of such an assumption does exist.

Thus, in this question, the second assumption is implicit. When Y is advising X, he might be assuming that X will listen to his advice.

Implanting standards, right values, the science of good and evil are an essential part of education. Many forces thwart this to work, but two of the most serious hindrances to it are examinations and specialization. The examination system is both an opiate and a poison.
