IPMAT Rohtak 2019

Critical Reasoning

Easy

Should powerful nations attack relatively weaker nations which pose probable danger to world peace?
Arguments:
1. Yes. War is justified for the noble purpose of peacekeeping.
2. No. War/violence should never be resorted to.

If only 1 is implicit

It only 2 is implicit

If either assumption 1 or 2 is implicit

If neither assumption 1 nor 2 is implicit

Correct Option: 1

\newline

The first assumption - that war is justified for peacekeeping - is implicit in the question because: $\newline$ - The question specifically asks about "probable danger to world peace" $\newline$ - It focuses on powerful nations acting against threats $\newline$ - The word "should" suggests looking for moral justification

The second assumption about "never using violence" is not needed to answer the question, since the focus is specifically on justified intervention.

\newline

Therefore, only assumption 1 is implicit, making the answer 1.
