Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "If you practice daily, you will become an expert."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Consistent practice improves skill level.
2️⃣ Expertise depends only on practice.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 1

BBoth 1 and 2

COnly 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify the causal claim
The statement links daily practice to achieving expertise.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
That regular practice improves skill is a reasonable causal premise and is necessary for the claim — implicit.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
That expertise depends only on practice is an extreme exclusivity claim (ignores talent, guidance, time) — not implicit.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
Remove the extreme 'only' and the statement still stands; exclusivity is not assumed ✅

Quick Trick: Eliminate absolute ('only') assumptions when a statement implies general tendency.

Common Mistakes:

Assuming exclusivity (only) instead of typical causation.
