Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The campaign of ‘Keep your city clean’ started by the Civil Council did not evoke any response from the citizens. Assumptions : I. People do not desire to keep their city clean. II. The Civil Council has failed in its campaign.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit E. Both I and II are implicit

The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is implicit.

The statement does not provide enough information to determine whether or not people desire to keep their city clean, or whether or not the Civil Council has failed in its campaign. It is possible that people do desire to keep their city clean, but that the Civil Council’s campaign was not effective in reaching them. It is also possible that people do not desire to keep their city clean, and that the Civil Council’s campaign was not effective in changing their minds.

Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II could be implicit in the statement.
