Assertion - I : The categories of 'mood' and 'tense' may intersect in various ways. Assertion - II : A particular model distinction may be drawn in combination with one tense, but neutralised with another.
Codes :
Answer: C
Both statements are true. The categories of mood and tense intersect in various ways, for example when an irrealis mood is found only in the past tense. A particular modal distinction may be drawn in one tense but neutralised in another, as the second statement says.
The options saying that only one statement is true, or that both are false, are rejected. Tense locates an event in time while mood marks the speaker's attitude to it, so a distinction of mood can be marked in one tense and lost in another.
