Alternatives:

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:

Education and literacy are not the same. Literacy is simply the ability to read and write. Education is a broader process involving teaching and learning to improve knowledge and develop skills, including primary, secondary, and higher education. Hence, all educated people are literate, but not all literate people are educated in the full sense. Literacy is a part of education, but education encompasses much more than literacy alone.
