your valuables in a cupboard and call everybody gentleman” does not imply that stealing is a crime. It is possible to lock your valuables in a cupboard and still be robbed, even if the robber is a gentleman. The statement only implies that valuables locked in a cupboard are less likely to be stolen.
Assumption I is implicit in the statement because the statement suggests that locking your valuables in a cupboard will prevent them from being stolen. Assumption II is not implicit in the statement because the statement does not say anything about whether or not stealing is a crime.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- Option A: Only assumption I is implicit. This is the correct answer.
- Option B: Only assumption II is implicit. This is not the correct answer because the statement does not say anything about whether or not stealing is a crime.

- Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit. This is the incorrect answer because the statement does imply assumption I.
- Option E: Both I and II are implicit. This is the incorrect answer because the statement only implies assumption I.
