Answer: C
The assertion is true: information literacy, the ability to find, evaluate and use information, is a basic skill for work in the twenty-first century. The reason is not correct as stated, because information literacy is not mainly training in ICT: it covers recognising an information need, searching, evaluating sources and using them ethically, and ICT is only one means. So (A) is true and (R) is false. Information literacy is thus a wider skill than the use of technology, which is why the reason is only a partial statement.
