Validating assumptions regarding access to quality education
Question
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
Options
1 and 2 only
2 and 3 only
1 and 3 only
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Assumption 1 is valid because the text calls learning common values through travel the key to "live at ease among their fellows" , which requires human understanding. Assumption 2 paraphrases the final sentence : "the art of learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travel...". Assumption 3 overreaches significantly by claiming a traveler can "resolve differences" among people. The author states travel helps a person understand or tolerate differences, not act as a conflict mediator.
Answer: (a).
