Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement :
    Protection of national interest becomes paramount in the case of MNCs in many situations.
    Assumptions :
    I. Parties other than MNCs are always found prudent in protecting national interest.
    II. MNCs are often found misusing environmental resources which is a national property.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: D

National interest could or could not be paramount for other industrial concerns. So assumption I is not implicit. There is not even a mention of environmental resources. We can treat assumption II as a possibility but it is not necessarily so.
