Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The line claims that selecting a good institute completes “half the job”, implying other factors must complement it. We must test which assumptions are required.
Given Data:
The statement emphasises the value of a “good guidance institute” but does not declare guidance to be absolutely necessary.
Concept / Approach:
“Half the job done” implies the institute is important but not sufficient.
Step-by-Step Solution:
I: Saying “very hard without guidance” is stronger than necessary. The statement promotes guidance but does not claim impossibility or extreme difficulty without it. Not implicit.II: If the institute covers only “half”, the remaining half must be student effort and other inputs. Hence II is implicit.
Verification / Alternative check:
Advertisements often balance necessity and sufficiency subtly; here, sufficiency is denied by “half”.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Options asserting I (alone or with II) overstate the claim.
Common Pitfalls:
Reading “important” as “indispensable” or “sufficient”.
Final Answer:
Only assumption II is implicit.
