Consider the given argument and decide which of the given assumptions is (are) implicit. Argument: The year 2020 is a leap year. Assumptions: 1. February will have 29 days in 2020. 2. The year 2017 is not a leap year. Correct Answer Both 1 and 2 are implicit.

In the given statement, it is assumed that we know the definition of a leap year which is a year in the Gregorian calendar, occurring every 4 years, containing 366 days with February 29 as the extra day.

Assumption I: February will have 29 days in 2020.

This assumption is implicit as in a leap year in the month of February there are 29 days.

Assumption II: The year 2017 is not a leap year.

Since every 4th year is a leap year, so by dividing the year by 4, we can determine if the given year is a leap year or not. Since 2017 is not divisible by 4, we can say that 2017 is not a leap year.

Hence, both assumptions 1 and 2 are implicit.
