Q1:

Statement: Apart from the entertainment value of television, its educational value cannot be ignored. Assumptions:
  1. People take television to be a means of entertainment only.
  2. The educational value of television is not realised properly.

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:E - Both I and II are implicit

Explanation: The statement makes the first assumption clear though educational value is not to be ignored. So, I is implicit. That the educational value must not be ignored also shows that educational value is not realised properly. So, II is also implicit.
