Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: if only assumption II is implicit.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The statement explains a curatorial decision: because theatre has visual constraints and aesthetics, the creators chose only selected events from Buddha’s life. Our task is to identify which assumptions must be true for this decision to make sense.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
An implicit assumption is a belief the speaker must hold for the statement to be reasonable. If the play uses only selected incidents due to visual aspects, it presumes that not every episode translates well to stage.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Test I: “Romantic aspects will be shown.” This is speculative and theme-specific; the statement gives no such commitment. I is not necessary.2) Test II: “Not every life aspect is stage-worthy.” This is precisely why selection is justified: some episodes may be too static, abstract, or sprawling. II is necessary and thus implicit.
Verification / Alternative check:
Even documentaries abridge; dramatization requires compression and visual viability. Without assuming variable stage-suitability, the selection rationale collapses.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
I-only/Either/Both/Neither add a theme not stated or remove the essential feasibility premise.
Common Pitfalls:
Reading hidden themes (like romance) into neutral production notes.
Final Answer:
if only assumption II is implicit.
