Assertion (A): Blocking events are easy to forecast.

Reason (R): Once established a block persists for a week or more.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: A

The reason is correct, and persistence does help the forecast once the block exists, but the onset and breakdown remain among the least predictable events in mid-latitude meteorology. The assertion is therefore too strong. Models also show systematic biases in block frequency and duration, so the difficulty is one of both initial condition and model error.
