Q85

In the following question, Assertion and Reason are followed. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct option from the following.
Assertion : The cultural resources of the communities are also very important for the learning of the child. Folk tales, folk songs, jokes, art etc. enrich the language and knowledge of the child.
Reason : The local environment of the child is not only physical or natural, but his socio-cultural environment is also local.

  1. (1) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  2. (2) Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  3. (3) Assertion is false but Reason is true.
  4. (4) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.Correct answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Both are correct and Reason explains Assertion.

  1. Assertion is true: folk tales, songs, jokes and art enrich a child's language and knowledge.
  2. Reason is true: the child's local environment includes society and culture, not only nature.
  3. Because culture is part of the local environment, community cultural resources become learning resources. So Reason explains Assertion.

Trap: (1) misses that the Reason is exactly why these resources matter.
