Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Parents should monitor their children's online activities."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Children may encounter harmful online content.
2️⃣ Monitoring always guarantees complete protection from online harms.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 1

BOnly 2

CBoth 1 and 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand the recommendation
The suggestion is precautionary — it arises from concern about possible online harm to children.
Step 2: Evaluate assumptions
Assumption 1 (children may encounter harmful content) is implicit — otherwise monitoring would be unnecessary. Assumption 2 (monitoring always guarantees complete protection) is an absolute claim and not implied; monitoring reduces risk but does not guarantee absolute safety.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
If no potential harm existed, advising monitoring would be redundant ✅

Quick Trick: Precautionary advice assumes a possible threat, not absolute prevention.

Common Mistakes:

Reading practical safeguards as guaranteeing perfect outcomes.
