Statement: "Present day education is in shambles and the country is going to the dogs." Assumptions: A good education system is essential for the well-being of a nation. A good education alone is sufficient for the well-being of a nation.

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:

Clearly, the statement mentions the degradation of the country with the disruption of the education system. So, I is implicit, However, it does not mean that education alone is sufficient and no other factor is responsible for the well being of the nation. So, II is not implicit.
