Discussion
Assertion (A): The prefix alto does not indicate the highest clouds despite its Latin meaning.
Reason (R): In the cloud classification it was assigned to the middle étage rather than the upper one.
Answer: C
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the explanation. Altus means high in Latin, so the name is genuinely misleading, but the classification assigned the prefix to the middle level and reserved cirro for the upper. It is a convention of the nomenclature rather than a description, and the only remedy is to learn it as such.
