Statement: "According to me, you should get your child examined by a specialist doctor." - A tells B. Assumptions: Specialist doctors are able to diagnose better than ordinary doctors. B will certainly not agree with A's advice.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:

The advice particularly mentions 'a specialist doctor' and not simply 'doctor'. So, I is implicit, B's response to A's advice cannot be deduced from the given statement. So, II is not implicit.
