Statement: The captain of the school football team selected only fourt...
Assumption I: There may be an adequate number of football players for all the matches.
Assumption II: The captain may be able to play in all the matches.
Explanation:
To determine the correctness of the assumptions, we need to analyze each one separately.
Assumption I: There may be an adequate number of football players for all the matches.
This assumption implies that there are enough players available to fill the remaining positions in the team for each match. Since the captain has already selected fourteen players, it suggests that there might be additional players in the team who can be chosen for the remaining positions. This assumption is implicit because if there were not enough players, it would not be possible to field a complete team for all the matches.
Assumption II: The captain may be able to play in all the matches.
This assumption suggests that the captain himself is a skilled player and can contribute to the team's performance on the field. Since the captain has selected only fourteen players, it implies that he intends to include himself in the team for all the matches. However, this assumption is not explicitly mentioned and may vary depending on the captain's skills, availability, or any other factors.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, assumption I is implicit as it is necessary to have an adequate number of players for all the matches. On the other hand, assumption II is not implicit as it depends on the captain's abilities and preferences. Hence, the correct answer is option B - if only assumption I is implicit.
