Answer
Correct Answer: Only Assumption II is implicit
Explanation
Reasoning:Proposing “major modifications” minimally assumes that changes are needed (II). Claim I (“inconsistent with national needs”) is a stronger, specific critique not required by the statement; reforms can be motivated by modernization, efficiency, or alignment—not necessarily by inconsistency with national needs. Hence only II is implicit.
Final Answer:Only Assumption II is implicit.
