Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Since the Ministry has decided to support the voluntary organisations, it is quite probable that they are in need of it. So, I is not implicit.

Nothing about the availability of pencils is mentioned in the statement. So, I is not implicit. Also, in the statement, the staff has been instructed to provide pencils with each invigilator.
