• D. If both assumptions I and II are implicit.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The statement "COVID-19 is a pandemic issue now" indicates that COVID-19 has reached a level of widespread impact across countries, classified as a pandemic. Let us analyze the assumptions given:

Assumption 1: Government should work towards complete eradication of diseases like COVID-19.
This assumption is about what actions the government should take. The statement does not mention any government actions or imply a need for eradication. Therefore, it is not implicit.

Assumption 2: COVID-19 is not a serious disease and treatment is available.
The statement only indicates the widespread nature of the disease without commenting on its severity or treatment options. Therefore, this assumption is also not implicit.

Both assumptions suggest specific conclusions or actions, which the statement itself does not imply. Thus, neither of the assumptions is implicit.

If neither assumption I nor II is implicit.
