Statement:\n“Are you creative and outgoing? Do you enjoy communicating ideas and working with others? A career in photography offers the opportunity to create art while working in a rewarding professional field,” says an advertisement.\n\nAssumptions:\nI. Producing commercial-quality photography requires technical expertise along with creativity.\nII. There are people who aspire to become successful photographers.\n\nWhich of the above assumptions is implicit in the statement?

Introduction / Context:
The advertisement targets personality traits (creative, outgoing) and sells photography as a rewarding career. For an ad to be worth placing, an audience with relevant aspirations must exist. The question is whether the ad must also assume a specific production thesis about commercial-quality photography (I).

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Pitch: Photography career is rewarding for creative, communicative, collaborative individuals.
• Assumption I: Commercial-quality output requires technical expertise plus creativity.
• Assumption II: Some people want to become (successful) photographers.

Concept / Approach:
All advertising presupposes an addressable market—people who desire the promoted outcome (II). The ad’s copy does not explicitly commit to the production doctrine in I; it does not elaborate on training or technical requisites, only on opportunity and fit. While I may be true, it is not necessary for the ad’s logic of persuasion. The ad can succeed by appealing to aspirations and interests alone.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Common Pitfalls:
Assuming every career ad implies a full competency model. Many ads simply attract interest before discussing requirements.

Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
