Assumption II: No development is possible without a proper mission.

• A. If only I assumption is implicit
• B. If only assumption II is implicit
• C. If neither I nor II is implicit
• D. If both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is A If only I assumption is implicit

The statement talks of the mission of development which will only be possible when country 'X' achieV,es total literacy. Since a mission is a realistic possibility, therefore the condition of total literacy also has to be a realistic possibility. Therefore assumption I is implicit. We do not know if development is possible without a mission or not, so assumption II is not implicit. Option (a) is the correct answer.
