The statement “If you lose after competing hard that is fine” directly implies that losing under conditions of high effort is acceptable or excusable. The phrase “that is what disappoints me” in reference to losing without trying hard implies that such a loss is undesirable or regrettable.

The first part of the statement (“If you lose after competing hard that is fine”) supports Assumption I.
The second part of the statement (“If you lose without trying hard that is what disappoints me”) supports Assumption II.

This is an example of a question testing the ability to identify implicit assumptions based on explicit statements. The statement clearly distinguishes between two types of losses and assigns a value judgment to each, directly corresponding to the two assumptions.
