Statement–Assumption (Theoretical Education & Economic Advancement): Statement: “Theoretical education does not bring economic advancement and leads to a steady loss of confidence and money in the country.” Assumptions: I) Confidence and economic development are closely related. II) Theoretical education significantly builds confidence.

Difficulty: Easy

Only Assumption I is implicit
Only Assumption II is implicit
Both Assumptions I and II are implicit
Both Assumptions I and II are not implicit
Either Assumption I or II is implicit

Correct Answer: Both Assumptions I and II are not implicit

Explanation:

Reasoning:The statement asserts two negative outcomes (no economic advancement; loss of confidence and money). It does not require a premise about a close causal tie between confidence and economic development (I), nor does it assume that theoretical education builds confidence (II)—indeed, it suggests the opposite trend. Hence neither I nor II is necessary.
