Statement — The local cultural club decided to organize a musical event to raise money for constructing its club building.\n\nAssumptions —\nI. Local residents may not allow the club to organize a musical event in the locality.\nII. The money raised through the musical event may be substantial enough to start construction.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: if only Assumption II is implicit

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Fundraisers are planned on the belief that they will generate meaningful funds toward a stated objective. The decision to host a musical event presupposes expected adequacy of proceeds, not a presumption of community obstruction. If anything, the decision implicitly expects feasibility (permission/acceptance), not rejection.



Given Data / Assumptions:


  • Action: organize a musical event.
  • Goal: raise construction funds.
  • I: residents may not allow the event (negative and counter to feasibility).
  • II: proceeds will be substantial enough to initiate the project.


Concept / Approach:
Only the financial adequacy assumption is necessary. Assuming community denial would defeat the plan and is not required by the decision; rather, implicit feasibility (permission) is the minimal presupposition. Thus II alone is implicit.



Step-by-Step Solution:


1) Connect the event to the funding target.2) The connection works only if expected proceeds are meaningful (II).3) The plan does not require presuming non-approval (I); it implicitly presumes approval or manageable logistics.


Verification / Alternative check:
If the club expected denial, it would not plan an event as the fund-raising vehicle. Hence I is not implicit.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:


Only I: contradicts feasibility.Either/Both: wrongly include I.Neither: wrong because some financial adequacy must be assumed.


Common Pitfalls:
Reading in extraneous obstacles; the test asks for the minimal assumptions that make the decision rational.



Final Answer:
Only Assumption II is implicit.
