Answer 2

Assumption I : People like to use cream for fair complexion.
This is implicit, as the advertisement is promoting the cream for achieving a fair complexion, implying that there is a demand for such products.
Assumption II : People are easily fooled.
This can also be seen as implicit because the advertisement’s effectiveness relies on the assumption that consumers may be swayed by the claim, suggesting that they might not critically evaluate the product.
Assumption III : People respond to advertisements.
This is implicit because the purpose of the advertisement is to persuade consumers to buy the product, indicating that there is an expectation that people will respond to it.

So, the correct option is (D): All are implicit.
