47.

Statement: Lack of stimulation in the first four or five years of life can have adverse consequences.

Assumptions:

  1. A great part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life
  2. 50 percent of the measurable intelligence at age of 17 is already predictable by the age of four.

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 lacking in first four or five years can be adverse because it is the main period of development. So, I is implicit. Since nothing is mentioned about the predictability of intelligence, II is not implicit.

The statement does not mention anything about intelligence. So, it should be option D.
