  • Options

  • C. Only I and III are implicit
  • D. All are implicit
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I is implicit 

    Explanation
    Artificial honey can be made. That is why the word 'natural' needs to be mentioned in the advertisement. So, I is implicit. No comparison is made of the prices of natural and artificial honey. So, II is not implicit. Nothing about the quality of honey of other companies can be deduced. So, III is also not implicit.
