    Assumptions
    I. The authorities of private schools may not follow the Government instruction as they are not dependent on Government funds.
    II. The parents of the students of private schools of the city may still be eager to pay higher fees.

    2. if only Assumption II is implicit
    3. if either Assumption I or II is implicit
    4. if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
