Consider the given argument and decide which of the given assumptions is (are) implicit. Statement: The opposition party criticised the government over the increased unemployment rate. Assumption: 1. Only the government is responsible for the increased unemployment rates. 2. Government hasn't taken any major decisions to stop the increasing unemployment rate. Correct Answer Neither 1 nor is 2 implicit

Assumption 1: The statement suggests that the government is responsible for the unemployment rate. But it does not say that only the government is responsible for this. So, assumption 1 is not implicit.

Assumption 2: We cannot say that the Government hasn't done anything to stop the increasing unemployment rates and that is why the unemployment rate is increasing. It could be that the government did make efforts which failed. Hence assumption 2 is not implicit.

The correct option is 4. Neither 1 nor is 2 implicit
