b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

Answer: (b)

It is hard to reduce the generalised version to a particular field. Other possibilities may also be considered, such as sanitation problem, ...

Hence I is not implicit. II is implicit because it is this that makes the speaker take potshot at metros.

Both I and II are implicit. Why is the rate of the cup of tea reduced to Rs 2 for labourers? I must have beeen assumed. Again, the real motto of an ad is to increase the number of customers as well as sales.

Hence, II must also be assumed.
