Explanation:
(d)
Explanation:
Answer: Well the most rookie mistake that people make is this. They argue that if the assertion and the reason sound similar, the option must be A. In other words, the reason must be the correct explanation of the assertion. Let us first check the statements. The first statement presents a strong opinion or in other words, a blanket opinion. Such opinions are often not correct. For example, if someone says that all insects are small, the statement is incorrect. rather if you say insects are small, the statement is genuine.
Assertion and Reason
Similarly to say that all crows are black is not correct as there are species of the common crow, that are grey in colour. So the assertion is not right. The reason, however, is correct. Therefore the correct option here is D).
More Examples
In the previous section, we saw that we should avoid jumping to conclusions. The first step is to check the truth of the statements themselves and later worry about the relation between the two. Let us see more such examples:
Example 2: Assertion: The Mountains on Moon are way taller than Mount Everest.
Reason: The force of gravity is stronger on Earth than on the moon.
(A) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
(B) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
(C) Our Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(D) The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
(E) Both the statements are false.
