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)

I may or may not be an assumption. Advertisement of a product is done keeping in mind that there must be some buyers.

Hence, I is not implicit due to the word ‘Most’. But since the objective of the advertisement is to attract customers by giving them a chance of free trip to Asian Games, the speaker must be assuming II. Otherwise, why will people prefer a free trip to a foreign country?

Question : 7

Statement:
