We were talking about the post. Where did the guard came from?

"At its gate THOSE sales persons" as it has been mentioned those, it shows that only certain salesman are not allowed which will be done by the guard. So II is correct.

The answer must be D. The word 'those' implies that this notice is directed toward some specific salespeople and not all. Thus, i) is not implicit. And I have absolutely no clue from where a security guard came into the picture or even if he is present, he may be able to ward off salespersons. So ii) is also not implicit. The answer to me seems to be that neither are implicit, that is D.

As II is "The security guard posted at the gate [MAY BE] able to stop the sales persons entering the society".
Concentrate on may be, So can't this one may be implicit?

Answer should be either assumption 1 or 2 or strictly assumption 1.
You simply cannot assume anything, that there is a security guard and even if you are assuming then there is no point to put any notice.

Answer should be [B]. Only assumption II is implicit.
The word "those sales person" only pertains to a number of sales people. If "those" was replaced by "that" then I agree both statements are correct.

The statement involves those salesmen and not all salesman indicating only particular salesmen are not allowed but others are allowed thus option 1 is not implicit.

I think, it will be easy for a security guard posted at gate to convince the salespersons to not to enterb the gate by showing them the board. Therefore both assumptions are implicit.

A notice is not at all a guarantee for debarring all the salespersons, so I does not follow at all.

I think the answer should've been 'D' (none) as there is a list for some specific salesman, not all. But the answer is stating "all".
