Discussion
Assertion: a thorough desk study can replace field exploration on most sites. Reason: published maps and records contain a great deal of relevant information.
Answer: A
Correct answer: the assertion is false although the reason offered is a true statement in itself
The reason is quite true - published records do contain a great deal - but the conclusion drawn from it does not follow. The desk study directs the investigation; it cannot supply the ground conditions at a specific site to the accuracy a design requires, and treating it as a substitute for exploration is how sites come to be built on unrecorded made ground.
