Assertion:

Every year, *Booker prize* is given by the English government to the best work in English literature.

RI. The English government has enough money with it to spend on such prizes.

RII. The English government is interested in encouraging the authors of these literary works.

  • A.Only RI and not RII is the reason for the assertion.
  • B.only RII and not RI is the reason for the assertion.
  • C.either RI or RII, but not both, is the reason for the assertion.
  • D.neither RI nor RII is the reason for the assertion.

Answer: B

RI and/or RII must be cause to effect the *Assertion*. This means that if RI or RII is accomplished,the act given in the *Assertion* will be carried out. Let us examine RI and RII from this view-point. RI : Having enough money does not become a cause for spending on such prizes. Hence, RI cannot be a valid reason. RII : If the authors are to be encouraged, they must be given awards or prizes for appreciable works. This is a valid reason.
