Statement: Why don't you invite Anthony for the Christmas party this year?

Assumptions:

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

II cannot be implicit as the question that has being asked why anthony is not invited and statement II if considered to be an assumptions then it must highlight the reason for not invited.

Why first is not implicit? If the name of the place is itself in the question than what is an assumption. So I think the reasoning is wrong.

But Anthony might live in the city itself and still he could be invited?
