CBoth Assumptions I and II are implicit

DBoth Assumptions I and II are not implicit
-
EEither Assumption I or II is implicit
Answer
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.
Final Answer:Both Assumptions I and II are not implicit.
