Answer
Correct Answer: Only III is implicit
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The supplicant links success to divine grace, purity of intent, and sincerity of effort. We identify what must be believed for such a prayer to be meaningful.
Concept / Approach:The act presumes that praying can help (Assumption III). “Only those who pray” (I) or “only those whose intentions are pure” (II) are exclusivity claims not required by the wording; the prayer asks for grace if conditions are met, not that grace is available only in those cases universally.
Final Answer:Only III is implicit
