Question

Assertion (A): Diversity emphasises differences rather than inequalities.
Reason (R): Cultural diversity can present tough challenges.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is \textbf{not} the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Hint:

When addressing terms like diversity and inequality, understand their fundamental concepts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Assertion (A): Diversity highlights the fact that societies have various differences between them in terms of culture, religion etc. This does not necessarily mean inequalities, which are linked to power differences and access to resources.
Reason (R): The reason is also correct. Cultural diversity can be a challenge. Different cultural norms and values can often lead to conflicts, misunderstandings, and social tensions, particularly if there is a lack of tolerance and empathy.
Connection: Both the statements are true, however, cultural diversity poses challenges and does not explain what diversity means. Therefore R is not the explanation of A.
