Discussion
Assertion - (I) : The neogrammarian hypothesis that sound changes are regular and exceptionless. Assertion - (II) : There are sound changes which show exceptions, hence it is not regular.
Codes :
Answer: C
Both statements are accepted as true. The neogrammarian hypothesis, formulated in the 1870s, held that sound changes are regular and exceptionless, so (I) correctly states it. (II) is also true as a statement of fact: there are sound changes with exceptions, as lexical diffusion studies show, and so not all change is regular.
Option A and option B each make one of the two false, which would deny that either the hypothesis as stated or its exceptions exist, and option D denies both. Option C is the key.
