Question 37

Statement: Nobody can predict as to how long our country would take to control the unfortunate and disastrous terrorist activities.
Assumptions:
I. It is impossible to put an end to terrorist activities.
II. Efforts to control the terrorist activities are on.

Solution

Assumption 1 is false because the statement implies that the terrorist activities will end one day, though when exactly that would happen is not known.

Assumption 2 is implied as the statement makes it implicit that our country is trying to control the terrorist activities, even though it's not been successful in completely controlling them yet.
