Question

Assertion (A) : The cultural consequences of globalisation are always negative.

Reason (R) : Sometimes globalisation enlarges our choice, and sometimes modifies our culture.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

Globalisation has both good and bad cultural effects, so always is wrong. A is false and R is true.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Check the Assertion:
The Assertion says that the cultural effects of globalisation are always negative.
NCERT shows that this is not so. Globalisation brings new foods, films and ideas, and it gives people more choice.
The word always makes the statement false.

Step 2: Check the Reason:
NCERT says that culture can be shaped by globalisation in two ways. It can enlarge our choice, for example in clothes and food.
It can also modify our culture, as when old habits give way to new ones.
So the Reason is true.

Step 3: Decide among the options:
(A) and (B) need A to be true. A is false, so both are wrong.
(C) says A is true and R is false. This is the opposite of the facts.
(D) says A is false and R is true. This matches our findings.

Final Answer:
Assertion is false and Reason is true, which is option (D).
