Assertion (A): Actions and responses of two athletes may differ during a match situation.

Reason (R): Personality is the combination of an individual’s thoughts, characteristics, behaviour, attitude and habits.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

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

• Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

Explanation:

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true. Since personality is the unique blend of an individual's traits, habits, and mental patterns, it directly dictates how an athlete perceives and reacts to pressure or competition, explaining why two athletes will act differently in the same match situation.
