Dr. Singh assured a FICCI delegation that he would take every possible action to bring down food prices.
Which of the following is an assumption implicit in the given statement?
Answer: D
From the statement it is clear that FICCI has raised the issue of food prices. From this it can be inferred that FICCI is concerned about food prices.
Hence choice (1) is an inference.
FICCI has approached Dr. Singh with the issue of food prices and Dr. Singh has assured them that he would take action. From this it can be concluded that Dr. Singh is responsible for control of food prices. Hence, choice (2) can be concluded from the given statement.
The statement does not refer to the capacity in which Dr. Singh has made the promise. He could be food minister or prime minister. Hence, choice (3) is out of context.
Dr. Singh has said that he will take all possible measures to bring down food prices. Hence, choice (4) is an implicit assumption.
