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

  1. Statement:
    For members at IIC, seek out those who have topped the services exams, distinguished themselves in graduate studies or have made a mark at an early age in the arts or the media.
    Assumptions:
    I. The present selection process for membership has lack of transparency.
    II. Present members of IIC are not up to the expectations of the IIC.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: B

From the given statement it cannot be inferred whether transparency exists or not. Hence I is not implicit. II is a valid assumption; that is why the speaker has jotted down new guidelines for selection process.
