Q1:

Statement: "Apply nets on windows to prevent the entrance of mosquitoes in the house." Assumptions:
  1. The entering of mosquitoes from entrances other than windows is desirable.
  2. Nets are not available to apply on doors.

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:D - Neither I nor II is implicit

Explanation: The statement talks of a way to keep mosquitoes away. This means that entry of mosquitoes in the house is not desirable. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement advises using nets on windows. So, nothing about the use of nets on doors, can be deduced. Thus, II is also not implicit.
