Q1:

Statement: "Present day education is in shambles and the country is going to the dogs." Assumptions:
  1. A good education system is essential for the well-being of a nation.
  2. A good education alone is sufficient for the well-being of a nation.

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: Clearly, the statement mentions the degradation of the country with the disruption of the education system. So, I is implicit, However, it does not mean that education alone is sufficient and no other factor is responsible for the well being of the nation. So, II is not implicit.
