I think it's more than "inventing" a context here, the entire blurb that came before the question ("Linda majored in philosophy and as a student she was very deeply concerned with discrimination..." etc) hints to the reader that this is the context. Or alternatively "how likely do you think is it that such a person ends up as a bank teller".
The punchline is of course that neither context is correct and the actual context is just about detecing a tautology, which is what most people are probably not prepared for.
