  • C. Either I or II is implicit
  • D. Neither I nor II is implicit
  • E. Both I and II are implicit

  • Correct Answer
  • Only assumption I is implicit 

    Explanation
    The statement talks about a 'good' book. This means that some books may not be good. So, I is implicit. The words 'if costly' show that most books are not costly. So, II is not implicit.
