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

Assertion (A) : The political culture approach doesn't focus on the attitudes of specific individuals like, the President or Prime Minister.
Reason (R) : Political culture denotes how people view the political system as a whole and is often seen as the foundation of all political activities.

Select the correct answer from the codes given below :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the reason of (A)
  • B.(A) is false, (R) is true
  • C.Both (A) and (R) are false
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the reason of (A)

Answer: A

The key's answer is Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the reason of (A).

The political culture approach (Almond and Verba) studies the attitudes and orientations of a population as a whole, not of particular leaders, so A is true. R is also true: political culture is the pattern of how people view the political system and is seen as underlying political activity.

The key treats R as a description of what political culture is rather than the reason the approach leaves out individual leaders, so it marks R as true but not the reason of A.
