Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In an effective learning situation, the learner occupies the most important central position.
Reason (R): The extension agent's efforts are directed towards creating learning situations that stimulate and guide learning activity. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

Hint:

Place the learner at the heart of education—extension agents spark and steer learning with engaging, tailored methods.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Assertion (A): the learner is central in effective learning, true by definition of learner-centred education.
Step 2: Reason (R): the extension agent's job is to build learning situations that guide the learner, also true.
Step 3: Link check: guiding situations around the learner is exactly why the learner stays central, so (R) explains (A).
Step 4: Both correct and linked, so the correct option is (1).
