Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The adoption of practices may be relatively higher when more than five methods of extension techniques were used, as compared to a single extension technique.
Reason (R): Single extension technique usually proves to be useless, from adoption's point of view. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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

Hint:

Multiple extension techniques boost adoption by engaging diverse learners, but a single method can still work if well-designed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Assertion (A): more than five combined techniques give relatively higher adoption than a single technique, a moderate, well-supported claim, true.
Step 2: Reason (R): claims a single technique is usually useless, an absolute overstatement.
Step 3: A single well-executed technique can still be effective, just less so, so (R) is not accurate.
Step 4: (A) true, (R) false, so the correct option is (2).
