Assertion (A) : A middle school language arts teacher selects stories and clippings from newspapers and magazines that portray men and women in non-traditional roles.
Reason (R) : Countering prevalent gender stereotypes by presenting other models is an effective way to overcome gender bias.
Answer: D
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
The assertion describes a real classroom practice: a teacher deliberately chooses stories and news clippings showing men and women in non-traditional roles, such as women engineers or men as carers.
The reason states why she does it. Gender stereotypes are learned partly from the examples children see, so presenting other models counters those stereotypes and helps reduce gender bias. Because R gives the purpose behind A, it is the correct explanation, which rules out the option saying it is not.
