Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The sentence contrasts calm routine with stimulation caused by news content. We test what must be true for the change in arousal to be explained.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
The statement is personal/typical, not universal. It does not claim every “common man” has this routine. But it does rely on the paper sometimes containing exciting/sensational material that can “kick in” adrenaline.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
News cycles include breaking stories, scandals, disasters, or sports drama—consistent with II.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only I” overgeneralises; “Both” inherits I’s flaw; “Neither” ignores the content-based trigger.
Common Pitfalls:
Reading a stylistic observation as a universal claim.
Final Answer:
Only assumption II is implicit.
