Statement: "Ensure a good Slight's sleeps for your family with safe and effective X mosquito coil." - An advertisement. Assumptions: X mosquito coil is better than any other mosquito coil. A good night's sleep is desirable.

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:

The statement mentions the good qualities of X coil but this does not mean it is the best. So, I is not implicit. Besides, an advertisement highlights the feature which is desirable by customers and can lure them. So, II is implicit.
