Answer 2

Both Assertion and Reason is correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• The Act of Union(1907) between England and Scotland resulted in formation of United Kingdom of Great Britain. It helped England to impose its influence on Scotland.

• The influence by England resulted in suppression of Scotland's rich cultural heritage. They were forbidden to speak their Gaelic language or wear their national dress. They were also driven out of their homeland.

• Ireland was also a country divided between Catholics and Protestants. The Englishmen helped Protestants to establish the dominance over the largely Catholic country. The Catholic revolts were suppressed. Finally, Ireland was incorporated in the United Kingdom.
