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:
1) I generalises to “every person,” which is unnecessary.2) II is needed: without exciting content, the reaction would not occur “on some days.”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.
