Consider the given statement and decide which of the given assumption/s is/are implicit. Statement: Serials/soaps are a reason for developing negative tendencies in women. Assumptions: I: Newspapers highlight the negative aspects first and then, the positive aspects. II: The attention given to the negative aspects is much higher than that given to the positive aspects. Correct Answer Only assumption II is implicit

As the statement says that most of the serials or soap operas promote negative tendencies, the reason behind it can be assumed to be that ‘the attention given to the negative aspects is much higher than that given to the positive aspects’, hence assumption 2 is implicit.

As there is no information provided in the statement regarding the newspapers, we cannot assume anything about them. Hence, assumption 1 is not implicit.
