Assumptions:

1. Pink headed ducks are as good as extinct now.

2. People refer to encyclopaedia to know only about things which do not exist now.

Statement: The organization should promote employees on the basis of merit alone and not on the basis of length of service or seniority.

Assumptions:

1. Length of service or seniority does not alone reflect merit of an employee.

2. It is possible to determine and measure merit of an employee.

Answer: E

The statement stresses on the need to award promotion to a person who has been displaying remarkable talent and performing extraordinarily for the organisation rather than the one who has been working steadily for the organisation since long. Thus, length of service does not alone prove a man worthy. His talent and his performance are the criteria to be considered. So, both I and II are implicit.
