Answer
Correct Answer: Both I and II are implicit
Explanation
Given data
- Statement: Substantial achievement if each village has a school and attendance is enforced.
- Assumption I: Children in villages do not attend school regularly.
- Assumption II: Providing a school to every village is desirable.
Concept/Approach
The claim of 'substantial achievement' relies on a need (irregular attendance) and on the desirability of the proposed provision.
Step-by-step reasoningEnforcing attendance presumes attendance is currently irregular ⇒ I is assumed.Calling the outcome a 'substantial achievement' presumes that providing a school per village is desirable/beneficial ⇒ II is assumed.
Verification/Alternative
If attendance were already regular, 'enforce attendance' would be pointless. If a school per village were not desirable, calling it a substantial achievement would be incoherent.
Common pitfalls
- Treating 'achievement' as purely rhetorical without embedded desirability/need.
Final AnswerBoth I and II are implicit.
