Question

Assertion (A): Advertising is personal form of communication.

Reason (R): Advertising creates monologue and not a dialogue.

Options

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

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

• Assertion (A) is True but Reason (R) is False.

• Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.

Answer 1

Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True.

Explanation:

• Assertion (A) is false because advertising is a non-personal form of communication; it targets a mass audience, not an individual person directly.
• Reason (R) is true: advertising creates a monologue (a one-way flow of information) and not a dialogue (two-way communication).
