while quoting the given statement, then select 'Yes'. If not, then select 'No'.
Statement: John said to Frank, "Before you leave for the day, can you quickly redo the inventory check?
It won't take more than five minutes."
Assumption: John assumes that Frank is in a hurry to leave for the day.
a. Yes
b. No​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Him stating that the work won't take more than five minutes is a clear indication that the work is not time consuming and he can leave as soon as work is done meaning he was indeed in a hurry to leave.

Answer 2

Yes. Here, John has assumed that Frank might be in a hurry to exit from work.

John asks Frank to redo the inventory check and states the time required to complete the task. He assumes that Frank must be in a hurry to leave as understood by the mention of time.

If not for the assumption, there is no reason as to why John would mention time while asking Frank to carry out a task.
