Discussion
Identify the correct code for the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) as given below :
Assertion (A) : A state is specifically a political and geopolitical entity.
Reason (R) : Because specific cultural groups are associated with state for political legitimacy.
Answer: D
The keyed code is Both (A) and (R) are true.
The assertion is the standard distinction: a state is a political and geopolitical entity, defined by territory, population, government and sovereignty, while a nation is a cultural or ethnic community. The reason is also true: states seek legitimacy by identifying themselves with a particular cultural group or nation, which is the idea behind the nation-state.
Since both statements hold, the codes declaring either of them false are wrong. The codes here do not ask whether (R) explains (A), only whether each is true.
