ARGUMENT -
A kayak manufacturer has determined that none of its products is entirely watertight. Therefore, it warns customers
that using the kayaks without adding watertight wax sealant will always result in a capsize.
What are the possible assumptions in this argument?

Premise: Kayak manufacturer has determined that its products are not entirely watertight.
Conclusion: Kayaks without watertight wax sealant will always result in a capsize
Possible Assumptions: 1) If kayaks are not watertight, water enters kayaks and causes capsize. There is no other alternative mechanism that prevents the capsize of Kayaks.
2) Wax sealants can make the kayaks completely watertight.
A pre thought assumption helps us to enhance our understanding of the question and argument. It need not always be similar to the answer choice.
P.S: Can you please post the answer choices along with the OA.

hi,
there can be many..
few I can think of immediately are-
1) It is possible to make kayaks watertight at a later stage with wax sealent.
2) There is no other way that the kayak can be saved from capsizing.
3) wax sealant is the only way to make kayaks watertight.
4) there is a possiblity to avoid capsizing after making the kayak watertight.
