Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements (I) and (II).

(I) The largest sector of UNESCO’s activity is in the field of education.

(II) The main function of UNESCO is to identify the monuments in different parts of the world and declare them as World Heritage sites.

Options

• (II) contradicts (I).

• (II) is the reason for (I).

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Explanation:

Both statements are historically true about UNESCO, but they describe completely different areas of its operations that do not share a cause-and-effect relationship. Statement (I) is true because the field of education is indeed the single largest sector of UNESCO’s financial budget and field activities. Statement (II) is also true because identifying and declaring World Heritage Sites is another key function of the organisation. Since neither statement causes nor contradicts the other, they remain completely independent.
