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:
    "In India, the wheels of justice hardly move."---An American newspaper
    Assumptions:
    I. Judicial process in India is dilatory, expensive, and beyond the reach of common people.
    II. It is necessary for a civilised society to have a prompt judiciary.
    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: D

The newspaper's view on the expensiveness of justice can't be guessed from the given statement. Hence I is not implicit. In assumption II, the term 'civilized society' twists his view.
