B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement 'Rakesh is a person of few words' directly implies that he exercises control over his speech, which validates Assumption II. However, the statement only gives general advice about controlling temper and doesn't provide any specific information about Rakesh's temperamental behavior. Therefore, Assumption I is not implicit in the given statement.
