Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "The government should provide free meals to school children."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Some children lack adequate food at home.
2️⃣ Free meals will have no administrative or corruption issues when implemented.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 2

BBoth 1 and 2

COnly 1

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify policy aim
The proposal targets child welfare through school feeding.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
The policy presumes food insecurity among some children — an implicit motivator for free meals.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
Operational perfection (no administrative problems) is unrealistic and not implicitly assumed by the statement — not implicit.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option C
Quick Check:
Welfare measures assume need; they don’t necessarily assume flawless implementation ✅

Quick Trick: Policy suggestions assume need; they rarely assume perfect implementation unless stated.

Common Mistakes:

Assuming policy recommendations ignore practical challenges implicitly.
