Statement: "if you ask me about the daunting challenges that I face, I would say that my government's first priority is to improve the existing law and order situation. Then follows the issue of prices of commodities."- Mr Y, a newly appointed PM of country X Assumptions: I. If a citizen of country X can sleep peacefully, he/ she can then think of providing food to his/her family, ponder over education and move about freely in the country. II. Prices of the commodities affect the common man greatly.

Correct Answer: if neither I nor II is implicit.

Explanation:

I is not implicit because it assumes too many things: education and free movement are beyond the scope of the statement. II is not implicit because the PM only assumes that law and order affects the common man more than prices do.
