Q1:

Statement: "This drink can be had either as it is, or after adding ice to it." - An advertisement. Assumptions:
  1. People differ in their preferences.
  2. Some people will get attracted to the drink as it can be had as it is.

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

The advertisement tells the different ways in which the drink can be had. This means that different people prefer to have it in a different way and that some people would prefer it only because it can be taken in a particular manner. So, both I and II are implicit.
