Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "People should help accident victims immediately."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Timely help can save lives or reduce harm.
2️⃣ Most bystanders already help without hesitation.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 2

BBoth 1 and 2

COnly 1

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand the exhortation
The statement urges immediate assistance at accidents.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
The urgency presumes that quick help reduces harm — this is the primary premise and is implicit.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
The claim would not be needed if bystanders already routinely helped; asserting that most already help is not implied (indeed, the exhortation suggests otherwise) — not implicit.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option C
Quick Check:
Urgent moral appeals imply usefulness, not that the behavior already occurs ✅

Quick Trick: Urgent calls to action assume effectiveness, not prior prevalence of the action.

Common Mistakes:

Mistaking exhortation for description of current behavior.
