Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Apply SafeHome Pest Control — keep your family safe from harmful insects!"
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Insects are harmful to human health.
2️⃣ People want a clean and pest-free home.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 2

BOnly 1

CBoth 1 and 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify the product’s appeal
The advertisement promotes pest control as a safety/comfort measure.
Step 2: Analyse assumptions cautiously
While it’s plausible that insects can be harmful and people prefer pest-free homes, the ad’s marketing message is promotional rather than a strict inference. From a strict logical viewpoint, the short imperative does not strictly imply either assumption as a necessary background premise — it’s persuasive copy. Thus, Neither 1 nor 2 is strictly implicit from the brief slogan alone.
Final Answer:
Neither 1 nor 2 is implicit. → Option D
Quick Check:
Promotional taglines aim to attract; avoid converting every marketing claim into a formal assumed premise ✅

Quick Trick: Treat short marketing slogans as appeals, not formal logical premises unless phrasing shows clear presupposition.

Common Mistakes:

Reading definitive assumptions into brief promotional lines.
