In the given question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct answer.
Assertion: Military action endangers the lives of people employed in the defence sector, not ordinary citizens.
Reason: Quite often, ordinary men and women are made targets of war, to break their support of the war.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option 3 - The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
Assertion: Military action endangers the lives of people employed in the defence sector, not ordinary citizens.
Reason: Quite often, ordinary men and women are made targets of war, to break their support of the war.
The ASSERTION is misleading. Military action can endanger the lives of people in the defense sector, but it also endangers ordinary citizens. History shows that civilians often suffer significant casualties during conflicts.
CORRECTION in Assertion - Military action also endangers the lives of ordinary citizens.
Military action also endangers the lives of ordinary citizens. It is unlikely that in war only soldiers will be hurt or killed. Quite often, ordinary men and women are made targets of war, to break their support of the war.
