Question

For Question number 3, two statements are given - one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Read these statements carefully and choose the correct option as the answer from the options (A), (B), (C) and (D) given below.

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:

The word always makes A false. R gives the true, mixed view that globalisation sometimes widens choice and sometimes changes culture.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the question:
We test A, then R, and then see if they fit together.
The topic is the cultural effect of globalisation.

Step 2: Check the Assertion (A):
A says the cultural effects of globalisation are always negative. The word always makes it a strong claim.
NCERT shows two sides. There is a risk of cultural homogenisation, but culture can also gain, for example when Indian food, music and yoga spread abroad.
So A is FALSE.

Step 3: Check the Reason (R):
R says that sometimes globalisation widens our choice and sometimes it changes our culture.
This matches the NCERT view that the effect is mixed. So R is TRUE.

Step 4: Check each option:
(A) says both are true. Wrong, because A is false.
(B) says both are true with no explanation. Wrong for the same reason.
(C) says A is true and R is false. This is the reverse of the facts, so it is wrong.
(D) says A is false and R is true. This is CORRECT.

Final Answer:
A is false and R is true, so the answer is option (D). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (D)}} \]
