Question

Overwhelmed with grief and anger, families have been returning to what is left of their homes in the Old City of Mosul, following its liberation from Isis, the terrorist organization.

Assumptions:

I. The terrorist organization, Isis, destroyed the Old City of Mosul before they left.

II. Most of the residents of Mosul had left or were driven away when Isis took control of their city.

III. None of the residents of Mosul supported Isis, which is why they left the city.

Which of the above assumptions are implicit in the statement?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement mentions families returning to "what is left of their homes," which implies that their homes were significantly damaged or destroyed. This supports assumption I that Isis caused destruction before leaving.

2. Since families are returning, it suggests they had left or were forced to leave when Isis occupied the city, validating assumption II.

3. The statement does not provide any information about the residents' support or opposition to Isis, so assumption III cannot be inferred.

**Answer:** Option D — Both assumptions I and II are implicit.
