Discussion
Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below :
Assertion (A) : Physical factors provide only a partial and deterministic explanation of geographical distribution of population.
Reason (R) : Man is by no means passive in his choice of areas for settlement and everywhere demonstrates an ability to exercise some control over his environment.
Answer: B
Both statements are correct. Physical factors such as relief, climate and soil give only a partial and deterministic account of how people are distributed, and human beings are active and not passive in selecting places to settle, with the power to control the environment to some extent. The official key treats the reason as a related remark and not the full explanation of the assertion, so it chooses code B. A reviewer may judge that (R) does explain (A); the answer follows the key.
