Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "People should respect all religions equally."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Religious intolerance exists and causes social friction.
2️⃣ Some religions are inherently superior and deserve more respect.
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 the harmony objective
The statement advocates equal respect across faiths to promote social cohesion.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
The exhortation presumes intolerance exists that needs correcting — implicit.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
Claiming some religions are superior contradicts the statement's equality aim and is not implied — not implicit.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option C
Quick Check:
Calls for equal respect assume current inequality, not superiority of any faith ✅

Quick Trick: Equality appeals assume existing bias, not endorsement of hierarchy.

Common Mistakes:

Confusing the problem diagnosis (intolerance) with endorsing hierarchy.
