Question:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): The history of the popular movements helps us to understand better the nature of democratic politics.

Reason (R): Non-party movements are sporadic in nature.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

(A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(A) is true but (R) is false.

(A) is false but (R) is true.

Correct Answer:

(A) is true but (R) is false.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) - (A) is true but (R) is false.

Explanation:

  • Assertion (A) states that the history of popular movements helps us understand the nature of democratic politics. This assertion is generally true because popular movements often reflect the aspirations, grievances, and demands of the people, which are fundamental to democratic politics.
  • Reason (R) claims that non-party movements are sporadic in nature. This reason is not necessarily true. While some non-party movements may indeed be sporadic, others can be well-organized, sustained, and influential. Therefore, the reason is false.
