Statement:

There is no shopping complex for this colony; people have to go to the main market.

Assumptions:

I. This colony may be far from main market.

II. The people do not want to go to the main market.

  • A.If only assumption I is inplicit
  • B.If only assumption II is inplicit
  • C.If either I or II is implicit
  • D.If both I and II are implicit

Answer: D

Correct answer: If both I and II are implicit

The sentence is framed as a complaint, and both assumptions lie behind that framing. Reporting that people have to go to the main market presents the journey as a burden, which presupposes the market is inconveniently far - assumption I - and that the residents would rather not make it, which is assumption II. Remove either and the observation would carry no complaint at all.
