With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made : I. People above the poverty line also are prone to suffer from anxiety about economic insecurity. II. Eradication of poverty can result in peace and social equality in the country. Which of the above assumptions is/are valid ?

The passage explicitly notes that 'even those just over the poverty line are subject to multiple economic insecurities,' which directly supports assumption I that people above the poverty line also suffer from economic anxiety. Assumption II goes far beyond the passage by claiming that poverty eradication will result in peace and social equality, which is neither stated nor implied. Therefore, only assumption I is a valid assumption underlying the passage.
