Discussion
Read the following statements :
Assertion (A) : All girls are hardworking and sincere while boys are intelligent and dominating.
Reason (R) : Two distinctive biological brains produce all differences in physical and cognitive skills as well as personalities and temperament in girls and boys.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: D
Both A and R are false.
The Assertion is a gender stereotype. Hard work, sincerity, intelligence and dominance are individual traits that vary within each gender; they are not fixed by being a girl or a boy.
The Reason is also false. There are not two distinct 'biological brains' that produce all differences between girls and boys. Differences in skills, personality and temperament arise from many sources, including upbringing, social expectations and individual variation, and the overlap between genders is far larger than any average difference. So no option that calls either statement true is correct.
