Discussion
Assertion (A) : The profession of Library and Information Science is under tremendous pressure.
Reason (R) : The application of various kinds of technologies in professional activities has widened.
Answer: D
Both (A) and (R) are true.
Assertion A: the library and information profession is under great pressure, from shrinking budgets, rising costs of resources, competition from the internet and search engines, and users' changing expectations.
Reason R: the use of technology in library work has widened enormously, through automation, digital libraries, electronic resources, networks and online services. This expansion is itself one of the pressures, since staff must keep acquiring new skills.
Since both statements describe the profession accurately, the options calling either of them false are wrong.
