Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The economic condition of the country has gone from bad to worse. Assumptions : I. The government has failed to tackle economic problems. II. People are not cooperating with the government.

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

The statement “The economic condition of the country has gone from bad to worse” does not provide enough information to determine whether or not assumption I or assumption II is true. It is possible that the government has failed to tackle economic problems, which could have led to the economic condition of the country going from bad to worse. It is also possible that people are not cooperating with the government, which could have also led to the economic condition of the country going from bad to worse. However, it is also possible that there are other factors that have contributed to the economic condition of the country going from bad to worse, such as natural disasters or global economic downturns. Therefore, the answer is that either assumption I or assumption II is implicit, but not both.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

• Option A: Only assumption I is implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether or not assumption I is true. It is possible that the government has failed to tackle economic problems, but it is also possible that there are other factors that have contributed to the economic condition of the country going from bad to worse.
• Option B: Only assumption II is implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether or not assumption II is true. It is possible that people are not cooperating with the government, but it is also possible that there are other factors that have contributed to the economic condition of the country going from bad to worse.
• Option C: Either I or II is implicit. This option is correct because the statement does provide enough information to determine that either assumption I or assumption II could be true.
• Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does provide enough information to determine that either assumption I or assumption II could be true.
• Option E: Both I and II are implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine that both assumption I and assumption II are true.
