The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is implicit
The statement “Be humble even after being victorious” does not explicitly state whether or not most people are humble after being victorious. It is possible that the speaker believes that most people are humble after being victorious, in which case assumption I is implicit. It is also possible that the speaker believes that most people are not humble after being victorious, in which case assumption II is implicit. However, the statement does not provide enough information to determine which assumption is correct. Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II is implicit.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- A. Only assumption I is implicit
This option is incorrect because assumption I is not necessarily implicit in the statement. The statement does not explicitly state that most people are humble after being victorious. Therefore, it is possible that the speaker does not believe that most people are humble after being victorious, in which case assumption I would not be implicit.
- B. Only assumption II is implicit
This option is incorrect because assumption II is not necessarily implicit in the statement. The statement does not explicitly state that most people are not humble after being victorious. Therefore, it is possible that the speaker does not believe that most people are not humble after being victorious, in which case assumption II would not be implicit.
- D. Neither I nor II is implicit
This option is incorrect because assumption I or assumption II is implicit in the statement. The statement does not explicitly state whether or not most people are humble after being victorious. Therefore, it is possible that the speaker believes that most people are humble after being victorious, in which case assumption I is implicit. It is also possible that the speaker believes that most people are not humble after being victorious, in which case assumption II is implicit. However, the statement does not provide enough information to determine which assumption is correct. Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II is implicit.
- E. Both I and II are implicit
This option is incorrect because assumption I and assumption II are not necessarily implicit in the statement. The statement does not explicitly state that most people are humble after being victorious and that most people are not humble after being victorious. Therefore, it is possible that the speaker believes that most people are humble after being victorious, in which case assumption I is implicit. It is also possible that the speaker believes that most people are not humble after being victorious, in which case assumption II is implicit. However, the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether or not both assumptions are correct. Therefore, both assumption I and assumption II are not necessarily implicit.
