Assertion - I : According to Basil Bernstein, every speaker has access to the restricted code. Assertion - II : Only upper class has access to elaborated code.

Codes :

  • A.I and II are true.
  • B.I and II are false.
  • C.I is true, II is false.
  • D.I is false, II is true.

Answer: A

The key takes both statements as true. Basil Bernstein held that every speaker has access to the restricted code, used among people who share many assumptions. Access to the elaborated code, which makes meaning explicit, was linked by him to the higher social classes, and the key reads the second statement in that sense.

The options calling either statement false are rejected by the key. Bernstein's own account spoke of the middle class, which is a point to check.
