II. People may ignore and continue to get mosquito bites as they have other pressing needs.


A) If only assumption I is Implicit

B) If only assumption II is implicit

C) If either I or II is implicit

D) If neither I nor II is implicit

E) If both I and II are implicit

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The civic authority has advised residents to keep away from mosquitoes to avert the risk of malaria. Such advice would surely be adhered to by the people. So, II is not implicit. Besides, it has been advised to use mosquito repellents or nets.  This means that people can afford to buy the same. so, I is implicit
