Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Only assumption I is implicit.
Explanation: For a board meeting to be scheduled and held after one year, the company and its board must still be functioning at that time. That necessity makes assumption I implicit.
Assumption I: The company will remain in function after one year — implied, because without the company functioning there could be no board meeting.
Assumption II: The board will be dissolved after one year — not implied. This would contradict the statement, since a dissolved board could not hold the meeting.
Therefore, only assumption I is implicit.
