Answer
Correct Answer: if only Assumption II is implicit
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Fundraisers are planned on the belief that they will generate meaningful funds toward a stated objective. The decision to host a musical event presupposes expected adequacy of proceeds, not a presumption of community obstruction. If anything, the decision implicitly expects feasibility (permission/acceptance), not rejection.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Action: organize a musical event.
- Goal: raise construction funds.
- I: residents may not allow the event (negative and counter to feasibility).
- II: proceeds will be substantial enough to initiate the project.
Concept / Approach:Only the financial adequacy assumption is necessary. Assuming community denial would defeat the plan and is not required by the decision; rather, implicit feasibility (permission) is the minimal presupposition. Thus II alone is implicit.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Connect the event to the funding target.2) The connection works only if expected proceeds are meaningful (II).3) The plan does not require presuming non-approval (I); it implicitly presumes approval or manageable logistics.Verification / Alternative check:If the club expected denial, it would not plan an event as the fund-raising vehicle. Hence I is not implicit.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only I: contradicts feasibility.Either/Both: wrongly include I.Neither: wrong because some financial adequacy must be assumed.Common Pitfalls:Reading in extraneous obstacles; the test asks for the minimal assumptions that make the decision rational.
Final Answer:Only Assumption II is implicit.
