Question 55

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Articles are very important words in English and so is their knowledge.
Reasons (R) : Two or more pronouns joined by "and" require a plural verb.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

Option B is the correct answer.

Assertion (A): This is true. Articles (a, an, the) are essential in English grammar for indicating specificity and definiteness. Understanding how to use them is important for fluency and clarity.

Reason (R): This is also true. When subjects (including pronouns) are joined by "and," the verb typically agrees in plural form.
Example: "He and she are going to the market."

Therefore, Both (A) and (R) are true. But, (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).
