Discussion
Assertion (A) : Romans opposed slavery and it declined during the ancient Roman period in history.
Reason (R) : Romans keeping faith on Human Rights believed in equality of men and slavery as against equality.
Codes :
Answer: A
The official key accepts both statements as correct, with the Reason explaining the Assertion, which is option A. The reading it rests on is that Roman thought, shaped by Stoic ideas of natural law, held that all men are equal by nature, which weakened support for slavery over time. Historically, slavery was widespread in Rome and was ended only gradually, so this item is loosely framed and the key stands as printed. Options B, C and D are wrong because they deny one of the statements, which the key does not.
