In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Question 61

Statement: It is desirable to put the child in school at the age of 5 or so.
Assumptions:

I. At that age the child reaches appropriate level of development and is ready to learn.
II. The schools do not admit children after six years of age.

Assumption I: At that age the child reaches appropriate level of development and is ready to learn.
This directly supports the reasoning behind the statement. If children at age 5 are developmentally ready, it makes sense to start school at that point. So, Assumption I is implicit

Assumption II: The schools do not admit children after six years of age.
The statement doesn't say anything about admission restrictions or deadlines. It's about what is desirable, not mandatory. Therefore, Assumption II is not implicit

Hence, the correct answer is option A: Only assumption I is implicit
