In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the assumption is implicit.

 Statement: Lack of stimulation in the first four or five years of life can have adverse consequences.

Assumptions: I. A great part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life.

II. 50 per cent of the measurable intelligence at age of 17 is already predictable by the age of four.


A) If only assumption I is Implicit

B) If only assumption II is implicit

C) If either I or II is implicit

D) If neither I nor II is implicit

E) If both I and II are implicit

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The lacking in the first four or five years can be adverse because it is the main period of development. So, I is implicit. -Since nothing is mentioned about the predictability of intelligence, II is not implicit.
