Statement: The taste of food contributes to the intake of nourishment which is essential for the survival of human beings.

Assumptions:

  1. Human beings take food for the enjoyment of its taste.
  2. Human beings experience the taste of food.

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

It is mentioned that nourishment is essential for survival. So, this is the basic cause of intake of food. Hence, I is not implicit. Since taste of food affects the intake of nourishment, it means that human beings are affected by taste. So, II is implicit.
