Assumptions:
I. The media should not gloss over the real problem faced by the old.
II. The radio and print media touch upon the problems of the elderly but the information supplied has little practical value.
-
- if only assumption I is implicit.
- if only assumption II is implicit.
- if either I or II is implicit.
- if neither I nor II is implicit.
- if both I and II are implicit.
- if only assumption I is implicit.
Correct Option: A
I is implicit; that is why in the speaker's view the matter is regrettable. II is not implicit. Note that the statement says about media, not the radio or print media especially.
