Consider the given statement and decide which of the given assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

Statement:

The government has instructed all private colleges in the city to not increase the current fees for at least 3 more years.

Assumptions:

1. The authorities of private colleges may not follow the government's instruction since they are not dependent on government funds.

2. The parents of the students from the city's private colleges may still be eager to pay higher fees.

Assumption 1: The authorities of private colleges may not follow the government's instruction since they are not dependent on government funds.

The statement simply mentions that the government has issued an instruction to private colleges.

There is no mention of colleges' compliance, independence, or financial dependency on government funds.

Therefore, this assumption is not implicit.

Assumption 2:The parents of the students from the city's private colleges may still be eager to pay higher fees.

The statement does not mention parents' financial position, willingness, or eagerness to pay higher fees.

It only focuses on the government's instructions to private colleges.

This assumption introduces an unrelated factor (parents' eagerness), which is neither stated nor implied.

Therefore, this assumption is also not implicit.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
