Statements:
The Indian nuclear explosions have exposed the hypocrisy of the nuclear-haves and have filled the Indians with a sense of pride.
Assumptions:
I. The Indians are proud people.
II. If not for the nuclear explosions, the hypocrisy of the nuclear-haves would never have been exposed.
Answer: D
The nuclear-haves [countries possessing nuclear weapons] raised certain facts after the Indian explosions. These explosions also gave Indians a sense of pride. This does not imply that the nuclear-haves would never have realised the facts otherwise. The meaning of the phrase "sense of pride" used in the statement is different from the meaning of "proud people" used in assumption (I). Neither (I) nor (II) is an assumption.
