Direction: In each question below is given a statement 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.

  1. Statement:
    "Although no war was witnessed during the tenure of prime ministership of Mr X, a large number of top bravery medals were conferred upon many cops in the name of curbing terrorism and eliminating terrorists of different organisations belonging to our own states." - View of a citizen
    Assumptions:
    I. It is disgraceful of cops to name the act of killing of terrorists of our own country as an act of bravery.
    II. A war is less harmful for a country than menace of terrorism.
    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

I is not valid because we don't know whether the contrast expressed in the view is critical or merely a statement of fact. II, if at all an assumption,can only be false.
