In the given question, a statement of Assertion is followed by a statement of Reason. Mark the correct answer.

Assertion: The real-life impact of popular movements on the nature of public policies seems to be very limited.

Reason: This is partly because most of the contemporary movements focus on a single issue and represent the interest of one section of society.

Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Yet the real-life impact of these movements on the nature of public policies seems to be very limited. This is partly because most of the contemporary movements focus on a single issue and represent the interest of one section of society. Thus it becomes possible to ignore their reasonable demands. Democratic politics requires a broad alliance of various disadvantaged social groups. Such an alliance does not seem to be shaping under the leadership of these movements.
