Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : In closed ended questions participants formulate their own response.
Reason (R) : Closed ended questions provide limited options to the participants.
In the context of two statements, which one of the following is correct ?
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: D

(A) is false but (R) is true.

In closed-ended questions the participants choose from the options provided. They do not formulate their own responses, so the assertion is false.

Closed-ended questions do provide limited options, so the reason is true. The options accepting the assertion are rejected. An assertion and reason item is judged in two steps: whether each statement is true, and then whether the reason accounts for the assertion.
