7. (1) The performance of the individual has to be tasted over a span of time as the statement mentions. So I is implicit. The statement mentions that the individual’s worth shall be reviewed (during probation period) before confirmation so II is also implicit.
8. (2): Assumption I goes against the statement. So, it is not implicit. The allowance will serve as a reward to the employees and shall provoke them to come on time. So, II is implicit.
9. (2): I is not implicit. It is clearly criticism of Indian organizations not paying considerable attention to those aspects. So, II is implicit.
10. (2) The statement clearly warns the visitors to beware of dogs as they are trained to welcome the guest and intruders differently. So, II is implicit. I is vague and hence, It is not implicit.
