Statement & Assumption — A recruitment letter to candidates called for a written examination states: “You will have to bear your expenses on travel, etc.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. If this is not clarified, candidates may claim reimbursement of such expenses. II. Many organizations reimburse travel expenses to candidates called for written examinations.

Introduction / Context:
The organizer pre-empts ambiguity by stating that travel expenses must be borne by candidates. We test which assumptions are necessary.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• A proactive clarification about expenses appears in the call letter.
• Goal: prevent misunderstandings or future claims.

Concept / Approach:
Assumption I is necessary: absent such clarity, some candidates might expect reimbursement and later claim it. Assumption II (many organizations reimburse) is plausible context but not required; even if only a few reimburse, clarification still makes sense to avoid claims.

Step-by-Step Solution:
I: Necessary to justify the explicit disclaimer.II: Not necessary; prevalence across organizations is not essential to this letter’s prudence.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Either” overgeneralizes; “II only” ignores the direct reason for including the sentence.

Final Answer:
if only Assumption I is implicit
