Statement–Assumption — Residents of XYZ Colony agitated over irregular water supply. Assumptions: I) Agitation is the right way to secure better water supply. II) The residents suffer an acute problem of water supply. Choose the implicit assumption(s).

Introduction / Context:
The statement reports residents agitating due to irregular water. We identify the minimal beliefs that must be true to explain such action.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• There is a real, pressing shortage/irregularity affecting residents.
• Agitation is one of many possible methods (complaints, legal recourse, media).

Concept / Approach:
For agitation to occur, a serious problem must exist (II). The belief that agitation is “the right way” (I) is not necessary; people may agitate simply believing it may draw attention, not that it is the uniquely right method.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Public protests typically arise from acute service failures.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only I/Both/Neither” either add an unnecessary normative claim or ignore the obvious grievance.

Common Pitfalls:
Equating “took action” with “this is the best or only action.”

Final Answer:
Only assumption II is implicit.
