Statement: Success is how much a person bounces up after hitting the bottom.

Assumptions:

  1. Success requires conscious efforts without being discouraged by failure.
  2. Failure cannot be considered an acceptable thing.

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 defines 'Success' as 'bouncing up'. This means that success can be achieved by striving hard to touch the top, without being harassed by any of the hurdles which come in the way. So, I is implicit. The fact in II cannot be assumed from the given statement.

For some can't assumption II also be valid? Because they find failure to be unacceptable they are trying hard to bounce back.
