Statement: "Present day education is in shambles and the country is going to the dogs."

Assumptions:

  1. A good education system is essential for the well-being of a nation.
  2. A good education alone is sufficient for the well-being of a nation.

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
