Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Buy FitLife Shoes — designed for your comfort and health."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ People value comfort and health when buying shoes.
2️⃣ FitLife is the most expensive brand available.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

ABoth 1 and 2

BOnly 1

COnly 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify the ad’s focus
The advert emphasises comfort and health as selling points.
Step 2: Analyse the assumptions
Assumption 1 (buyers value comfort and health) is implicit — otherwise the ad would not emphasise those features. Assumption 2 (FitLife is the most expensive) is unrelated and not implied by the ad’s stated benefits.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option B
Quick Check:
If customers ignored comfort/health, highlighting those features would be pointless ✅

Quick Trick: Ignore price or status claims unless the ad explicitly references them.

Common Mistakes:

Conflating product features with price-position assumptions.
