In each question given below, there is a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement: An opportunity to carry out reforms in elections to the Parliament and State Legislatures has been lost when we rejected most of the recommendations of Goswami Committee for partisan reasons.
Assumptions:
I. Goswami Committee made certain good recommendations to improve the existing election system.
II. Most of the decisions in our country are taken with partisan considerations.
The statement talks about the lost opportunity of carrying out reforms for the election system when most of the recommendations by the Goswami committee were rejected due to partisan reasons.
We shall try negating the assumption and see if it also invalidates the main statement, for it to be a valid conclusion.
1. Had the committee not laid down good recommendations, there wouldn't be an instance of loss of opportunity in carrying reforms. Hence, it is a valid assumption.
2. The committee's recommendations were rejected for partisan reasons. However, there is no sufficient evidence to claim that most of the decisions are guided by partisan reasons. Hence, an invalid assumption.
