Statement: “Why are only high-profile people considered adventurous? Villagers in India, with no buses, walk barefoot for miles on dusty, untarred roads — isn’t that more adventurous than rafting or gliding?” — a person’s view.\nAssumptions:\nI. Walking barefoot for miles on dusty, untarred roads is a Herculean task.\nII. Rafting and gliding are considered adventurous by people.\nIII. Walking barefoot for miles on dusty, untarred roads is not considered adventurous by people.

Introduction / Context:
The speaker challenges mainstream labeling of “adventure,” contrasting elite leisure sports with arduous rural realities. The rhetorical question implies a critique of social perception, not an absolute claim about difficulty.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Society often brands rafting/gliding as “adventure.”
• Rural hardship is overlooked in such labeling.

Concept / Approach:
Two perception claims are required: (II) that rafting/gliding are popularly considered adventurous and (III) that walking barefoot long distances typically isn’t credited as such. The claim that the walk is a “Herculean task” (I) is a value judgment that strengthens the rhetoric but is not necessary for the critique of labeling.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Without II, there is no conventional benchmark to challenge.2) Without III, the contrast collapses because villagers’ hardship would already count as adventure.3) Whether the task is objectively Herculean is not required for the argument about misperception.

Verification / Alternative check:
The view can stand even if the walk is “merely” strenuous; the core is perception and recognition.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They either omit one of the needed perception premises or add unnecessary difficulty claims.

Final Answer:
Only II and III.
