Here, the objective is to make homes energy efficient for sustainable development.

  • Replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is suggested considering the statement says that making homes energy-efficient is important for sustainable development.

Therefore, assumption I is implicit in the statement.

  • One cannot relate the auspiciousness of good landscaping around one's house on the west side with efficient energy consumption at home using the information from the statement.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.
