Assumption Questions

Assumptions are sometimes made without any tangible proof or evidence. These questions help to determine whether assumptions provide a tangible or acceptable outcome.

• What is the assumption you are making?
• What assumption is being made here?
• Why have you made that assumption?
• What could we assume instead?
• How do you justify the assumption you have made?
• What evidence does the author provide to justify his / her assumption(s)?
• Can you give the reason(s) why you have made that assumption?
