Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The argument contains two implicit propositions: (1) that the process of evaluating facts (forming values) is subjective, and (2) that there is a distinction between knowing facts (objective) and evaluating them (subjective). These are not explicitly stated but are necessary for the argument's logic to hold.
