Question

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

(I) UNESCO lays emphasis on the education of women and children.

(II) UNESCO upholds the freedom of the Press and independence of the media.

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 true facts about UNESCO’s core work, but they describe entirely separate programs that do not have a cause-and-effect link. Statement (I) is correct because focusing on the education of women and children is a primary goal within UNESCO’s Education sector. Statement (II) is also correct because protecting the freedom of the press is a major goal within its Communication and Information sector. Since neither statement causes nor contradicts the other, they are independent.
