Correct Answer: Only II is implicit
Solution :
Let's analyse the given assumptions –
Assumption I:
Economic sanctions impact only a weak economy – The given statement does not specify which economy the economic sanctions will impact. However, it is stated that if the economy is already weak, the impact of economic sanctions could be devastating. Therefore, it is evident that economic sanctions have an impact on all types of economies, including weak ones.
Assumption II:
The impact of economic sanctions varies from economy to economy – In the given statement, it is given that in a weaker economy, the impact of economic sanctions could be devastating. As such, it differs from economy to economy. Hence, it's correct.
Therefore, from the above, we can say that only assumption II is implicit. Hence, the first option is correct.
