Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. |
The correct answer is Option 1: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Assertion (A): Social stratification persists over generations. True because social stratification is closely linked to the family and the inheritance of social resources from one generation to the next. As a result, inequalities tend to continue across generations. Reason (R): A person's social position is ascribed. True because children generally assume the social positions of their parents. For example, within the caste system, birth largely determines one's social position and occupational opportunities. The Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion because social stratification persists across generations precisely because social position is largely ascribed and inherited through the family. This transfer of social position from parents to children ensures the continuity of the system over time. |
