III. The rescuers have been learning from experience and were two hours faster in bringing the second batch of survivors out on Monday.  Correct Answer Only I is implicit

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Only I is implicit.

An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or certain to happen, without proof.

Because of the fact that an assumption has to be assumed and must be based on the given statement, assumption (II) and (III) can be easily rejected. From the statement, it is evident that the rescue operation of the football team and their coach is successful.

Based on the given facts we can reject assumption (II) as it states a fact that ‘Four more of the boys were carried on stretchers', no such information can be derived from the given statement, thus, it is irrelevant.

As far as assumption (III) is concerned, it also states an independent idea that the ‘rescuers were two hours faster in bringing the second batch of survivors out on Monday'. We cannot infer anything regarding the ‘two hours faster' idea thus, it can also be eliminated.

Assumption (I) is the most obvious assumption based on the given statement, as it does not state any independent idea. The idea that the team and their coach got trapped in the last week of June can be inferred from ‘After more than two weeks'.

The fact that ‘explore the vast cave complex after soccer practice' can also be assumed from the fact because, in the given statement, it is stated that the ‘football' team got trapped. Moreover, we don't have any option like ‘Neither I, II or III is implicit', we can easily mark option 1 as the most appropriate answer choice.
