Statement: 

As a nation we are committed to protect and promote  the interests of all those who are socio-economically vulnerable.

Assumptions:

I. It is possible to protect and promote interests of socio-economically weak people.

II. A nation should have certain commitments for its people.

  • 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

A commitment presupposes two things at once. It presupposes that what is undertaken can be done, since a nation does not commit itself to an impossibility - assumption I. And it presupposes that having such commitments towards its people is a proper thing for a nation, which is assumption II; without that the declaration would have no standing. Both lie behind the sentence rather than being stated in it.
