Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Statement: If you want to follow both stock market and politics, subscribe to paper X and not paper Y.
Analysis of Assumptions:
• Assumption I: The statement only implies that paper Y may not provide adequate coverage of both fields simultaneously. It does not definitively mean that paper Y lacks coverage of the stock market entirely. Hence, Assumption I is not implicit.
• Assumption II: Similarly, it cannot be concluded with certainty that paper Y does not cover politics at all. It may cover politics but not the stock market, or vice versa. Hence, Assumption II is not implicit.
Therefore, neither I nor II is implicit.
Correct Option: (C)
