Statement: The civic authority appealed to the people for reduction in usage of water as there may be an acute shortage during the coming weeks. Assumptions: There will be no rain in recent future. The people are ready to follow the advice of the civic authority.

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 II is implicit

Explanation:

Clearly, I is not directly related to the issue in the given statement and so it is not implicit. The civic authority makes an appeal to the people with the hope that it would surely be attended to by the people. So, II is implicit.
