Discussion
Consider the following two statements consisting of Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and select your answer using the codes given below.
Assertion (A) : The temple was not merely a place of worship; it filled a large place in the cultural and economic life of the Tamil people
Reasoning (R) : Its construction and maintenance offered employment to number of architects and craftsmen.
Answer: A
The answer is Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
The Assertion is true: the medieval Tamil temple was far more than a place of worship. It was a landowner, a bank, a centre of learning, music and dance, and the focus of festivals and village assemblies.
The Reason is also true, and the Commission's key treats it as the explanation: building and maintaining a great temple gave continuous work to architects, sculptors, masons and other craftsmen, and its upkeep supported many more, which is how the temple came to fill such a large place in the economic and cultural life of the people. The options that make either statement false are therefore wrong.
