Two statements are given, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R): |
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A) (A) is true , but (R) is false (A) is false but (R) is true |
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A) |
The correct answer is Option 2: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation for (A). Assertion (A): Social stratification persists over generations. This statement is correct. Social positions are often inherited, and children tend to occupy social positions similar to those of their parents. Ascribed status and practices such as endogamy help maintain this continuity across generations. Reason (R): Social stratification is a characteristic of society rather than of individuals. This statement is correct. Social stratification is a society-wide system that unequally distributes social resources among categories of people and is not simply the result of individual differences. The Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion. The Reason describes the nature of social stratification, whereas the persistence of social stratification across generations is explained by the inheritance of social positions and resources through the family. |
