Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Only Assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Political statements that claim success for a strike (chakka jam) hinge on present participation and acceptance of the cause. We must separate assumptions about current conviction from speculative future outcomes.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
To label the strike successful now, it must be assumed that people accepted its rationale sufficiently to cooperate today. Forecasting future party support is not required to assess current success.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Success of a strike today depends on present buy-in, not future voting preferences.2) Therefore Assumption II (public conviction about the cause) is necessary.3) Assumption I (future support) is speculative and not essential to the assertion of “success.”
Verification / Alternative check:
It is possible that people supported the strike’s issue but will not support the party later. The statement about success still stands, showing I is unnecessary.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only I: ignores present conviction. Either: both are not interchangeable. Both: adds unnecessary speculation. Neither: contradicts the logic of current success.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing present success with long-term popularity. Assumptions must be tied to the statement’s immediate claim.
Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
