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 the correct explanation for (A) |
The correct answer is Option 1: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation for (A). Assertion (A): Stereotypes do not recognise the variation across individuals and across contexts or across time. This statement is correct. Stereotypes assume that all members of a group possess the same characteristics, ignoring the diversity that exists within every social group. Reason (R): Stereotypes treat an entire community as a single whole. This statement is correct. Stereotypes assign identical traits to all members of a community instead of judging individuals on their own qualities or circumstances. The Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion. By treating an entire community as a single, homogeneous group, stereotypes overlook individual differences and changes across different contexts and time. |
