Answer
Correct Answer: Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The statement reports a fact (no local complex) and its consequence (people go to the main market). It does not comment on distance or on people’s preferences.
Analysis:
- Whether the market is near or far is irrelevant to the necessity of going there.
- Preference (“do not want to go”) is not implied; compulsion due to lack of facility is enough.
Conclusion:Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit.
