In the given question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct answer.
Assertion: Deciphering the script of Harappa on the seal has provided us valuable insight into the Harappan Culture.
Reasoning: The Harappan seals often contain animal motifs and signs.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The Harappan seal is possibly the most distinctive artefact of the Harappan or Indus valley civilisation. Made of a stone called steatite, seals like this one often contain animal motifs and signs from a script that remains undeciphered. Yet we know a great deal about the lives of the people who lived in the region from what they left behind – their houses, pots, ornaments, tools and seals – in other words, from archaeological evidence. Since we have not deciphered the Harappan script the Assertion is wrong.
