A special POTA court has sentenced to death to all the three persons convicted in the bomb blasts case of 2003, in which many people died.
Which of the following is an assumption implicit in the given statements?
Answer: C
The court has awarded punishment to the convicts. From this it can be concluded that they are found guilty.
Hence, choice (1) is conclusion.
The statement does not state on what grounds the court has awarded the punishment. It is not stated explicitly that the court has awarded the punishment because several people are killed.
Hence, choice (2) is an inference.
As the court found that putting to death is a suitable punishment for the crime committed by the convicts, the court is under the assumption that they are not fit to live in the society.
Hence, choice (3) is an implicit assumption.
The statement does not mention, whether some one instigated the convicts or they have done it on their own.
Hence, choice (4) is out of context.
