• D. Neither I nor II is implicit
• E. Both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only assumption II is implicit

The word 'If in the statement shows that B may or may not want to publicise his products. So I is not implicit. It is advised that advertisements be given in newspaper X. This means that X will help advertise better i.e., it has wider circulation. So, II is implicit.
