Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Students must submit their assignments on time."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Timely submission is necessary for proper evaluation.
2️⃣ Teachers are indifferent to late submissions.
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 purpose of the instruction
The statement stresses punctuality — the natural purpose is to ensure proper evaluation or administrative processing.
Step 2: Test each assumption
Assumption 1 (timely submission needed for evaluation) is required for the instruction to make sense — implicit. Assumption 2 (teachers indifferent) is an unnecessary personal attitude and is not implied.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
If timeliness had no role in evaluation, asking for on-time submissions would be pointless ✅

Quick Trick: Practical instructions usually assume an operational need, not personal feelings.

Common Mistakes:

Inferring emotions (like indifference) as logical assumptions.
