This document contains 5 statements followed by assumptions I and II. For each statement, the reader is asked to identify which assumption(s) are implied based on categories (a) through (d). The answers provided identify assumption I as implied for statement 1, assumption I for statement 2, assumption II for statement 3, neither assumption for statement 4, and both assumptions for statement 5. Justifications are given for each answer by analyzing words or phrases within each statement. The document is providing a reasoning exercise to determine implied assumptions within given statements.
