Discussion
Assertion (A): Consideration of alternatives is a required element of an impact assessment.
Reason (R): A decision cannot be judged reasonable without knowing what else was available.
Answer: A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
Both are true and the reason gives the purpose. A decision can only be judged reasonable against what else could have been done, so the assessment must set out the alternatives examined and why the chosen option was preferred. Without them the document justifies a decision already taken rather than informing one, and it is on precisely this ground that consents are most often challenged.
