Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Use BrightSmile Toothpaste — keeps your teeth sparkling white!"
Assumptions:
1️⃣ People care about having white and clean teeth.
2️⃣ BrightSmile is better than all other toothpaste brands.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 1

BOnly 2

CBoth 1 and 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify the ad's appeal
The advert highlights bright/white teeth as the benefit being offered.
Step 2: Analyse the assumptions
Assumption 1 (people care about white, clean teeth) is implicit — the ad targets that desire. Assumption 2 (BrightSmile is better than all other brands) is a claim of superiority that the ad may imply for marketing, but it is not a necessary background assumption for the ad's basic persuasive intent.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
If no one cared about white teeth, the ad’s message would have no effect ✅

Quick Trick: Ads assume a consumer desire or need first; brand supremacy is seldom a required assumption.

Common Mistakes:

Taking promotional exaggeration as an implicit logical assumption.
