Statement: It will be a substantial achievement in the field of education if one provides one school for every village in our country and enforce attendance.

Assumptions:

  1. Children in villages do not attend school regularly.
  2. Providing school to every village is desirable.

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 lays stress on enforcing attendance. This implies that children in villages do not attend school regularly. So, I is implicit. Besides, the statement calls 'one school for every village' a 'substantial achievement'. So, II is also implicit.

I think assumption 1 also implicit because of the use of " enforce attendance".
