Read each of the following two statements-Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below :

Assertion (A) : The anticipatory anxiety that people develop about having another panic attack is thought to arise from activity in the hippocampus of the limbic system.
Reason (R) : According to one theory, panic attacks arise from abnormal activity in the amygdala.
Codes :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  • D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Answer: B

Both statements are true, but R does not explain A. Anticipatory anxiety about another panic attack is linked to the hippocampus in the limbic system, as the assertion says. Panic attacks themselves are linked to abnormal activity in the amygdala, as the reason says.

The two statements describe different features and different structures, with no causal chain from R to A, so R does not account for A.
