    Solution

    Assumptions: I. Most of causes of death among wealthy persons are due to diabetes. → The assumption is not implicit in the statement. The statement only suggests that a wealthy person has a higher chance of having diabetes but it does not implies that most of causes of death among wealthy persons are due to diabetes. II. Poor persons do not have diabetes. → The assumption is not implicit in the statement. The statement mentions nothing about poor people. Hence, neither assumption (I) nor (II) is implicit.
