Statement–Assumption (Educated vs. Computer-Literate in the Present Scenario): Statement: “Even educated people will be termed illiterates if they are not computer-literate in the present scenario.” Assumptions: I) Every educated person needs to be computer-literate now. II) A computer expert can be termed educated even without any other type of education.

Introduction / Context:
This statement redefines practical literacy standards by tying social functionality to computer skills. We must decide which hidden premises are indispensable to the assertion that “even educated people” may be labelled illiterate if they lack computer literacy.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Definitional shift: functional/modern literacy includes computer skills.
• Temporal qualifier: “in the present scenario.”
• Comparison: formal education versus digital competence.

Concept / Approach:
An assumption is implicit only if the statement relies on it to remain meaningful. We test each option using the “negation test.”

Step-by-Step Solution:
Assumption I: If educated persons do not need to be computer-literate, then calling them illiterate due to lack of computer skills would not follow. The statement’s thrust depends on the norm that modern literacy entails computer literacy. Hence I is implicit.Assumption II: The statement does not claim that computer expertise alone equals “educated.” It only warns that lacking computer literacy could invite an “illiterate” label despite other education. Thus II is not required.

Verification / Alternative check:
Negating I collapses the claim’s rationale; negating II leaves it intact because the statement never equates “computer expert” with “educated.”

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only II, either/or, and neither all fail because I is necessary while II is unnecessary.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing a necessary component of modern literacy (basic computer skills) with sufficiency for being “educated.”

Final Answer:
Only assumption I is implicit.
