Correct Answer: if either I or II is implicit.
Explanation:
If A needs to be substituted by B, we assume that B is more appropriate than A. Now, the appropriateness of sledgehammer may be due to either of the following reasons: (a) a sledgehammer is more powerful; (b) though not more powerful, it works because different tools are required in different conditions. (b) may be explained by the following example : A chalk can not be said to be more powerful than a pen. But when it comes to writing on a blackboard, you would use a chalk, not a pen.
Correct Answer: if neither I nor II is implicit.
Explanation:
I is not implicit: Since the statement is silent on whether the move would have a good or a bad impact, it does not make any assumption about the move's desirability. II is also not implicit . In fact the assumption is on the contrary. If we say that this move has been taken from a particular point of view ( that of exchange rate management), We assume that other moves are also possible.
