(II) The Indian Government may exert pressure on the US Government.

(III) The American Government will impose life imprisonment on the accused to demonstrate its stance against racism.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. According to the passage, America has condemned the attacks but has not taken any concrete steps to address the issue.

2. Statement (III) suggests that the American Government will impose life imprisonment on the accused to set an example against racism. However, since the passage explicitly mentions no action has been taken, this cannot be assumed.

3. Statements (I) and (II) are plausible consequences:
   - (I) The attacks and lack of US action may affect the Indian-US trade relations.
   - (II) The Indian Government may apply pressure on the US Government to take action and protect its citizens.

4. Therefore, only statements (I) and (II) are supported by the passage.

**Answer:** (d) Only I and II
