Statement:\n“The government should reject the demand for a separate state for tribals in State A.”\n\nAssumptions:\nI. The government has the power to grant or deny the creation of a separate state.\nII. Tribals are generally very cruel.\n\nWhich of the above assumptions is implicit in the statement?

Introduction / Context:
The recommendation is that the government “should reject” a statehood demand. For such a recommendation to be meaningful, we must assume that the government is the competent authority to decide on state creation (I). A claim about the character of tribals (II) is neither mentioned nor necessary to the recommendation’s logic and is an unwarranted stereotype.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Policy recommendation: deny separate statehood demand.
• Assumption I: Authority/competence to accept or reject statehood demands lies with the government.
• Assumption II: Tribals are generally cruel (irrelevant to jurisdictional competence).

Concept / Approach:
A “should” directed at an actor presupposes that the actor can act on the matter. Hence I is required. The recommendation does not rest on any evaluative premise about tribal cruelty; it could be based on administrative, economic, constitutional, or federal considerations. Therefore II is not necessary and injects bias unrelated to the core decision authority.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

Common Pitfalls:
Allowing stereotypes to stand in as logical premises; sound reasoning identifies jurisdictional and policy assumptions, not biased character claims.

Final Answer:
Only Assumption I is implicit.
