Statement Take a ferry or a boat instead of a bus to reach the Kravi islands faster. Assumptions I. The islands being in remote location are not easily accessible. II. Ferries and boat are available to travel to kravi islands.

if only Assumption I is implicit
if only Assumption II is implicit
if either Assumption I or II is implit
if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit

Correct Answer: if only Assumption II is implicit

Explanation:

Assumption I is not implicit as there may be several reasons for the preference being stated (taking a ferry or s boat). Assumption II is very much valid because we ask someone to employ a means only when we assume the availability of that particular means.
