Statement: Beware of dogs, our dogs do not bark, but they are trained to distinguish between genuine guests and intruders.

Assumptions:

  1. Barking dogs bite rarely.
  2. Our dogs could be dangerous for intruders.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement clearly warns the visitors to beware of dogs as they are trained to welcome the guests and intruders differently. So, II is implicit. I is vague and hence, it is not implicit.

From the statement, dog can distinguish between guest & intruders and nothing can be infered whether the dog is dangerous or not.

Clearly, B is not the correct answer.
