​​

Statement:
Children share their feelings more with their friends than with their parents.

Analyzing Assumptions:
Assumption I: Children feel that their friends will be able to understand their feelings better than their parents.
Implicit – If children are sharing more with friends than parents, it suggests they believe friends understand them better.
Assumption II: Children are not friendly with their parents nowadays.
Not Implicit – The statement does not indicate that children are not friendly with their parents; it only states they share more with friends, which does not necessarily mean a lack of friendliness.
Thus, the correct option is (d) Only assumption I is implicit.
