Statement: India is suffering because citizens have given and taken votes based on caste/religion and not principles. Assumptions: I. The day of value-based voting are numbered in India. II. The voting based on principles has the potential to nullify the problems created by the politics of caste and religion.

Correct Answer: if neither I nor II is implicit.

Explanation:

I is not implicit because it implies that value-based voting still prevails, though it does not have too long a future. But the statement clearly suggests that value-based voting is absent. What about Assumption II, which talks of the potential of value-based voting? Well, the only potential the speaker has in mind is that it's a step in the positive direction. But can it undo what has been done ? we don't know.
