Question 156

Consider the given statements and decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit in the statement.
Statements:
Safety and health sectors in India are well below the quality standards as revealed by the pandemic.
Assumptions:
I. The quality standards set for health and safety are unrealistic and non-achievable.
II. The health and safety sectors were not considered as priority and as a sector to invest in.

Solution

The statement says India's safety and health are not good enough (below standards), especially as we saw during the pandemic.

Assumption I: The statement doesn't say the standards are the problem. It just says we aren't meeting them. Maybe the standards are fine, but we haven't done enough to reach them.

Assumption II: If something isn't good enough, it often means it didn't get enough attention or money. It's a guess that health and safety weren't a top priority for investment if they are now revealed to be below standard.

So, the statement suggests that health and safety might not have been a priority (Assumption II), but it doesn't necessarily mean the standards themselves are too high (Assumption I).
