Consider the given statement and decide which of the given assumptions is/are implicit in the statement. Statement: Advertising can be a good strategy to increase the sales of a company. Assumptions: I. It enables a wider range of people to know about the products of the company. II. Everyone who knows about the products of the company will buy them.
Analyzing Advertising Strategy Assumptions
The core statement is: "Advertising can be a good strategy to increase the sales of a company." We need to determine if the given assumptions are implicitly linked to this statement.
Evaluating Assumption I
- Assumption I: It enables a wider range of people to know about the products of the company.
- Reasoning: Advertising's primary function is to inform potential customers about products or services. Increased awareness is a direct and logical outcome of advertising. This awareness is a prerequisite for potential customers to consider making a purchase, thus linking it directly to the possibility of increased sales.
- Conclusion: This assumption is implicitly linked to the statement.
Evaluating Assumption II
- Assumption II: Everyone who knows about the products of the company will buy them.
- Reasoning: Knowing about a product does not guarantee a purchase. Many factors influence a consumer's decision, such as need, price, competition, quality, and personal preference. The statement suggests advertising *can* increase sales, not that it guarantees sales from every informed individual.
- Conclusion: This assumption is not necessarily true and therefore not implicit.
Final Decision
Based on the analysis, only Assumption I logically follows from the given statement.
Therefore, the correct option is the one stating that only Assumption I is implicit.
