Statement:
We grew up in joint families, which meant less space for the individual.
Assumptions:
I. Big houses were unknown in the past.
II. One has to make much adjustment in a joint family.

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

Here "less space" does not imply physical space so much. Instead, it implies less freedom.
