Q: Answer-Statement: “From tomorrow morning, we will be on an indefinite strike till our demand for salary hik...

The garbage collecting workers of the state expect a raise in their salary. Nothing about the salary of the workers throughout the country has been mentioned. Thus, I is not implicit. Since the President, while putting the notice, must have assumed that the authorities would pay attention to it, Therefore II is also not implicit . Also, we know as a rule that the advertisement appeal notice is prepared by the speaker writer assuming that these will have some effect on the people.

In each question below a statement is given followed by two assumptions numbered I and
II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

A if only I implicit.

B if only II implicit

C if either I or II implicit

D if neither I nor II implicit
