Statement : A notice reads "Please do not photocopy this book without my permission".
Assumption I : It is possible to photocopy the book.
Assumption II : This warning implies punishment for people violating it.
Answer: A
Only assumption I is implicit.
Nobody warns against doing something that cannot be done, so a notice forbidding photocopying without permission assumes that the book can be photocopied. Assumption I is implicit.
The notice is a polite request ('Please do not ...') and mentions no penalty, so it does not assume that violators will be punished. Assumption II reads more into the words than they say.
