Q. Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: Digital Media technologies can be seen as being socially shaped prior to use Reason R: The popularization of a technology in commercial societies implies design motivated by profit In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: 1. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation A 2. Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation A 3. A is correct but R is not correct. 4. A is not correct but R I s correct. Correct Ans: (2) Explanation: Both Assertion A and Reason R are correct. Assertion A states that digital media technologies are socially shaped prior to their use, meaning they are influenced by social factors during their development. Reason R indicates that the popularization of technology in commercial societies is motivated by profit. However, while the profit motive is a significant factor, it does not fully explain the broader concept of social shaping. Therefore, Reason R supports but does not completely explain Assertion A. Thus, the correct answer is 2: Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
