2.

Statement: "Please put more people on the job to make up for the delay."

Assumptions:

  1. Delay is inevitable in most jobs.
  2. Output will increase with more number of people on the job.

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 advice tells to 'make up for the delay' showing that delay is not to be done. So, I is not implicit. Since increase in number of people will make up for the delay, it means the output will increase with this increase in number. So, II is implicit.
