(A) Both (A) and (R) are true

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation

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

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

Correct Ans: (B)

Explanation: –

The assertion states that English newspaper readers possess higher education and social status, and the reason attributes this to their education, which positions them well in society and makes them interested in public affairs. Both statements are true; however, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. Readers’ social and educational status may influence their preference for English newspapers, but this preference alone does not define their societal placement or interest in public affairs.
