Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The statement says that “love for wealth” is the root cause of social evils, meaning people who love wealth are responsible for bad things in society. So, assumption II (those who love wealth are not social) is implied. However, assumption I (wealth gives power and makes selfless) contradicts the statement — the statement associates wealth-love with evil, not selflessness. Hence, only assumption II is implicit.
