Statement–Assumption (Put Anti-Smoking Slogans on Office Notice Board): Statement: “Slogans against smoking in office should be put on the notice board,” suggests an employee. Assumptions: I) The suggestion will be considered by the management. II) People do smoke in the office. III) Some people will stop or reduce smoking after reading the slogans.

Introduction / Context:
When an employee proposes awareness messaging (“put slogans against smoking”), the logic presumes (a) there is actually smoking at the workplace and (b) awareness messages can reduce the behaviour. Whether the management adopts the suggestion is not essential to the mere act of proposing it.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Proposed action: display anti-smoking slogans.
• Target outcome: decrease smoking in office premises.

Concept / Approach:
Assumptions relevant to a persuasion intervention are the existence of the problem and responsiveness to messaging. Expecting managerial acceptance is a separate, non-essential hope.

Step-by-Step Solution:
I: A proposer can suggest without certainty it will be adopted. The statement’s sense does not require that management will consider it. Not implicit.II: If no one smokes at the office, the suggestion is pointless. The proposal presumes an actual issue exists. Implicit.III: The suggestion assumes some readers may change behaviour after seeing slogans; otherwise displaying slogans would be futile. Implicit.

Verification / Alternative check:
Public-health messaging assumes at least partial efficacy via awareness, norms, and reminders.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only II” omits the crucial responsiveness premise; “I and III” includes an unnecessary adoption belief; “Only I/None” ignore the behaviour-change logic.

Common Pitfalls:
Equating the act of suggestion with guaranteed management action; overlooking that persuasion requires both a problem and effect pathway.

Final Answer:
II and III are implicit.
