Statement & Assumption — “We grew up in joint families, which meant less space for the individual.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. Big houses were unknown in the past. II. Living in a joint family entails significant personal adjustment.

Difficulty: Easy

if only assumption I is implicit.
if only assumption II is implicit.
if either I or II is implicit.
if neither I nor II is implicit.
None of these

Correct Answer: if only assumption II is implicit.

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:
“Less space for the individual” points to compromises and shared decision-making typical of joint families, not to the absence of physically big houses historically.

Concept / Approach:
Assumption II captures the implied trade-offs and adjustments in collective living. Assumption I is irrelevant: even large homes can still impose shared rules and reduced personal autonomy.

Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
