Read this excerpt from extremely loud and incredibly close. the next morning i told mom that i couldn’t go to school, because i was too sick. it was the first lie that i had to tell. she put her hand on my forehead and said, “you do feel a bit hot.” i said, “i took my temperature and it’s one hundred point seven degrees.” that was the second lie. she turned around and asked me to zip up the back of her dress which she could have done herself, but she knew that i loved to do it. what assumption does the narrator make in this excerpt?

He believed that his mom would trust him

Hope this helps :)

In this excerpt, the narrator assumes his mom will trust and believe him. The narrator thinks his mom will believe him because he has never lied before. In the clauses "the first lie that I had to tell her" and "[that] was the second lie", it is clear, then,  that the narrator does not usually lie. Therefore, he believes his mom trusts him and will never even suspect that he is lying.
