Statement: Apart from the entertainment value of television, its educational value cannot be ignored. Assumptions: People take television to be a means of entertainment only. The educational value of television is not realised properly.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit

Explanation:

The statement makes the first assumption clear though educational value is not to be ignored. So, I is implicit. That the educational value must not be ignored also shows that educational value is not realised properly. So, II is also implicit.
