Question 21

Assumptions:
I. Some people want to learn to speak English.
II. Weekend batches are cheaper than weekday batches.
Which assumptions are implicit?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Negation test for I: if nobody wanted to learn spoken English, advertising such a course would be pointless. So I is implicit.
Negation test for II: if weekend batches cost the same as weekday ones, the advertisement still makes sense, because it mentions weekends for convenience, not price. So II is not implicit.
Only I is implicit.
