Q87

Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) carefully.
(A) : The history of many places show us how many different cultural influences have helped to shape life and culture there.
(R) : Thus regions became very diverse because of their unique history for example Laddakh and Kerala.
Choose the correct option from the following.

  1. (1) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).
  2. (2) (A) is true but (R) is false.
  3. (3) (A) is false but (R) is true.
  4. (4) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).Correct answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Both true and (R) explains (A).

  1. (A) is true: the history of a region shows how many cultural influences shaped its life and culture.
  2. (R) is true: Ladakh and Kerala each grew diverse because of their own unique history.
  3. The two lines come from one idea: varied historical influences are what make a region diverse, and (R) shows (A) at work with examples.

Trap: (1) A strict reader may say (R) follows from (A) rather than explaining it; the pair is still meant as one connected idea.
