Question

Assertion (A): Street plays are a common form of entertainment but have limited impact on social awareness.

Reason (R): The informal and accessible nature of street plays allows them to reach diverse audiences and create awareness.

Options

• A is true, but R is false.

• A is false, but R is true.

• Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

A is false, but R is true.

Explanation:

The assertion is false because street plays have a significant impact on social awareness, serving as powerful tools to educate people about critical issues such as healthcare and literacy. This is entirely true because performing directly in public spaces removes all entry barriers, allowing actors to easily gather diverse crowds and spread important social messages effectively at the grassroots level.
