Assertion (A) : Welfare State is criticised as too expensive.
Reason (R) : Financing the services has become a burden and the cost has to be borne by the middle and upper middle classes through the instrument of progressive taxation.
Codes :
Answer: B
Both statements are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A), according to the key. The welfare state is criticised as too expensive, and financing its services has become a burden.
The reason names a source of finance, the burden on the middle and upper classes through progressive taxation, which does not explain the criticism that the welfare state is too expensive; it is a separate point about who pays. So the second option is correct.
