There is no information in the statement that suggests that large IT services companies are in the process of hiring employees from the US. However, it is implicit in the statement that the growth in the IT industry has slowed down more than anticipated, which could be a reason for the layoffs. Therefore, only assumption II is implicit.

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.

E if both I and II implicit.
