In order to showcase their respective strengths, U.S and North Korea are eager for a war. II. Threats to regime of one country by another country mostly turn into full scale wars.
    A If only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If both I and II are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If US and North Korea were eager for a war, it would have already taken place. None is eager. US wants to diminish North Korea’s missile capabilities. Thus, I is not implicit. Threats turning into wars depend on veracity and magnitude of the threat and full scale wars are mostly avoided. Thus, II is not implicit.
