Explanation:

I. The crop condition was not critical before the rains. => The statement tells us that the crop condition ‘continues’ to be critical after the rains. This tells us that it was critical even before the rains. Thus this conclusion does not follow.

II. The crop condition was expected to improve after the rains. => The fact that a report had to be made about the crop condition after the rains implies that a change was expected. That the statement reported no change in the condition despite the rains. This tells us that the rain was expected to improve the condition of the crops. Thus this conclusion follows.
