Statement:
To my astonishment, the lameman started walking normally when the priest touched him.
Assumptions:
I. It looked like an organised act of cheating the observers.
II. The priest has a magical touch of healing.
Answer: C
The author of the statement is astonished. A person is astonished only when he sees a surprising thing. The author was surprised by the incident. But we do not know whether he believed or disbelieved it. If the latter is true, (I) is an assumption, and if the former is true (II) is an assumption. But both cannot be assumptions simultaneously. Hence, either (I) or (II) is an assumption that follows.

Statement:
These considerate and pampering coaches can also cane their players.
Assumptions:
I. People with conceited ideas are generally not expected to cane and pamper their players.
II. It is good if a coach knows to cane and pamper his players.
Answer: D
The coaches are considerate and pampering. This implies that the coaches are soft-hearted and listen to the player's problems and view-points. But they can also cane. This implies that they can also punish sometimes. From the above analysis, we can infer that considerate people may not generally punish others. This inference is made because the author has used the word "only". Therefore neither (I) nor (II) is an assumption.

Statement:
All patients with high blood pressure were found to be having some worry or the other.
Conclusions:
I. Mental tensions may affect blood pressure.
II. If one has no mental tensions one may not suffer from high blood pressure.
Answer: D
The statement tells us that patients having high blood pressure were found to be having some worry or the other. At first glance it appears that having high blood pressure is connected to worry. However, on closer inspection we can see that there is no definitive evidence, medical or otherwise, to show that worry causes high blood pressure or vice-versa in the given statement. It is possible that this link is purely coincidental, hence any conclusion which shows a definitive link between the two is to be avoided. Conclusion I follows on account of the word 'may' which links the two terms 'worry' and 'blood pressure'. Conclusion II, which is the converse of I, also follows on account of the word 'may not'. Hence, both conclusion I and II follow.
