Zorluk: OrtaStatement and Assumptions

Analyze the provided administrative announcement and evaluate the candidate assumptions.

Announcement:
"The Department of Urban Development has launched a new web platform for residents to report road defects, guaranteeing that maintenance teams will resolve any verified complaint within 48 hours of submission."

Assumptions:
I. The local residents are equipped with the digital devices and internet connectivity required to submit complaints through the web platform.
II. The department has adequate operational capacity and manpower to repair the reported road defects within the promised two-day timeframe.

Based on the announcement above, which of the given assumptions is implicit?

  1. A
    Only Assumption I is implicit
  2. B
    Only Assumption II is implicit
  3. C
    Either Assumption I or Assumption II is implicit
  4. D
    Neither Assumption I nor Assumption II is implicit
  5. Both Assumption I and Assumption II are implicitCevap

Cevap

Both Assumption I and Assumption II are implicit
An assumption is an unstated premise that must be true for a statement to hold logical ground. When a government body launches a digital reporting system, it inherently assumes that the target demographic possesses the means to access and utilize it, making the first assumption valid. Furthermore, by publicly guaranteeing a specific 48-hour resolution window, the department logically assumes it has the logistical and workforce resources to fulfill that exact promise, making the second assumption valid as well. Therefore, both candidate premises are logically implicit.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the core premise of the announcement.
The announcement introduces a digital reporting tool and guarantees a 48-hour resolution timeframe.
Identifying the main actions (launching a web platform, setting a deadline) helps isolate the unstated conditions required for those actions to make sense.
2
Evaluate Assumption I.
Assumption I is implicit because introducing a web-based platform inherently relies on the unstated condition that the target audience can access and use it.
An action intended for public use logically assumes public accessibility.
3
Evaluate Assumption II.
Assumption II is implicit because guaranteeing a specific timeframe (48 hours) relies on the unstated condition that the department has the resources to meet this strict deadline.
A public commitment to a timeline logically assumes the operational capacity to honor it.
