Statement: “Dowry cannot be eradicated from our society unless we change people’s mindset.” Assumptions I & II: I. The existence of the dowry system is undesirable in a society. II. It is possible to bring a radical change in people’s mindset. Choose the option that correctly identifies the implicit assumption(s).

Introduction / Context:The statement prescribes a social remedy (mindset change) as a necessary condition for eradicating dowry. Such a prescription rests on two premises: that dowry is a problem worth eradicating and that mindsets are malleable through socialization, policy, education, or cultural work.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• I. Dowry is socially undesirable and should be removed.
• II. People’s mindsets can be changed substantially.

Concept / Approach:If dowry were acceptable, eradication would be pointless; if mindsets were fixed, calling for change would be futile. Hence both premises undergird the recommendation.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) “Cannot be eradicated unless…” frames mindset change as a necessary precondition — presupposing that mindsets can be changed (II).2) The goal (eradication) presumes dowry is undesirable (I).3) Therefore both I and II are implicit.

Verification / Alternative check:Even in the presence of laws, entrenched attitudes often sustain practices; the statement highlights culture as the binding constraint. This remains coherent only if change is considered possible and worthwhile.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Only I or only II omits part of the logic. Either/Neither fails to capture the dual premise that gives the statement force.

Common Pitfalls:Reading “unless” as merely stylistic; it explicitly signals necessity of mindset change.

Final Answer:Both I and II are implicit.
