Statement: Today I must satisfy myself only by looking at a pink headed duck in an encyclopaedia.

Assumptions:

1. Pink headed ducks are as good as extinct now.

2. People refer to encyclopaedia to know only about things which do not exist now.

  • 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

Answer: A

Since the narrator talks of satisfying himself by just looking at a picture in encyclopaedia, it means that pink headed ducks are not to be seen alive. So, I is implicit. But II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.
