Statement: With a sense of sincerity, quality teachers can improve the society.
Assumptions:
- Quality teachers are sincere.
- Sincerity in teaching pays.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement emphasises that quality teachers can help reform society if they are sincere enough in teaching. This implies that quality teachers may or may not be sincere. So, I is not implicit. However, II directly follows from the statement and so it is implicit.

Here, the word 'pay' might be interpreted as monetary pay. So option D is valid.

The use of the word "pays" is misleading. One can interpret it to mean monetary gain for the teacher (in which case the assumption would be invalid) instead of an overall benefit to society (in which case it would be valid).

There is nothing given about the payment of teachers. How can you say that it directly implies?

One may argue that an insincere teacher may not be of quality.
