Assertion: Hagiographies often praise the saint's achievements, and may not always be literally accurate.
Reason: Hagiographies tell us in detail about the lives of the followers of that particular tradition.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option 4 - The Assertion is correct but the Reason is incorrect.
The Reason: "Hagiographies tell us in detail about the lives of the followers of that particular tradition" is incorrect as Hagiographies tell us about the BELIEFS not lives of the followers of that particular tradition.
Hagiography is a biography of a saint or religious leader. Hagiographies often praise the saint’s achievements, and may not always be literally accurate (ASSERTION). They are important because they tell us about the BELIEFS of the followers of that particular tradition.
