Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: if neither I nor II is implicit.
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The remark focuses on pace—“hardly move.” It does not necessarily assert that the system is expensive or inaccessible, nor does it advance a normative principle about what a civilised society requires.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Assumption I bundles three attributes (slow, expensive, inaccessible). Only slowness is suggested; the rest are extras and thus not necessary. Assumption II (civilised society needs prompt courts) is also not required to criticise slowness; one may note sluggishness without invoking a civilisation benchmark.
Step-by-Step Solution:
I: Overstated—expense/reach are independent properties not entailed by pace.II: Normative add-on—unnecessary to support the descriptive criticism.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only I/II” or “either” attribute extra commitments the sentence does not need.
Final Answer:
Neither I nor II is implicit.
