    3. if either I or II is implicit
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.

The statement expresses concern over the issue as to when our country would be able to curb terrorism completely. This means that efforts are on and it is quite possible to put and end to terrorist activities although it could take longer. So, only II is implicit.
