    C if either I or II implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D if neither I nor II implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E if both I and II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    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, ThereforeĀ  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.
