Statement and Assumption - Verbal and Reasoning

Q1:

Statement: Success is how much a person bounces up after hitting the bottom. Assumptions:
  1. Success requires conscious efforts without being discouraged by failure.
  2. Failure cannot be considered an acceptable thing.

A Only assumption I is implicit

B Only assumption II is implicit

C Either I or II is implicit

D Neither I nor II is implicit

E Both I and II are implicit

ANS:A - Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation: The statement defines 'Success' as 'bouncing up'. This means that success can be achieved by striving hard to touch the top, without being harassed by any of the hurdles which come in the way. So, I is implicit. The fact in II cannot be assumed from the given statement.
