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

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

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation:

Assertion (A): Culture represents something collective and shared among people. It may not have symbolic expressions, but it follows patterns and order without evaluative dimensions.

This assertion emphasizes that culture is shared collectively, though it may not always express itself symbolically. Culture follows a structure or order but does not inherently make judgments about what is good or bad.

Reason (R): Communication serves as the most general and essential attribute of culture. Culture cannot develop, survive, extend, or succeed without communication.

This reason points out that culture depends on communication for its development and survival. Communication is vital for the transmission of culture and for it to thrive and extend.

Correct Answer: (A) Both (A) and (R) are true.
Both the assertion and reason are true. Culture is shared and follows patterns, while communication is essential for its development and survival. Thus, the reason accurately supports the assertion.
