Statement & Assumption — “Banking has traditionally been a highly sought-after career because it offers stability and growth prospects.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. People today no longer value stability. II. People value stability but not stagnation.

Difficulty: Easy

if only assumption I is implicit.
if only assumption II is implicit.
if either I or II is implicit.
if neither I nor II is implicit.
None of these

Correct Answer: if only assumption II is implicit.

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
The appeal is framed as “stability and growth,” implying a preference for safety plus progression—i.e., stability without stagnation.

Concept / Approach:
Assumption II aligns with that reading and is necessary for the appeal to make sense. Assumption I directly contradicts the stated attractiveness and is not implicit.

Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
