Only assumption I is implicit |
B.
Only assumption II is implicit |
C.
Either I or II is implicit |
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit |
E.
Both I and II are implicit |
Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Since the narrator talks of satisfying himself by just looking at a picture in encyclopaedia, it means that pink headed ducks are not to be seen alive. So, I is implicit. But II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.
