Statement: Be humble even after being victorious.

Assumptions:

  1. Many people are humble after being victorious.
  2. Generally people are not humble.

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

In one of the questions about the behaviour/nature of child, the explanation was given that we cannot conclude in general about the behaviour. How can we conclude here?

And if we are concluding it should be about "victorious" people not in general.
