Statement: "Apply nets on windows to prevent the entrance of mosquitoes in the house."

Assumptions:

  1. The entering of mosquitoes from entrances other than windows is desirable.
  2. Nets are not available to apply on doors.

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 talks of a way to keep mosquitoes away. This means that entry of mosquitoes in the house is not desirable. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement advises using nets on windows. So, nothing about the use of nets on doors, can be deduced. Thus, II is also not implicit.
