Reason R: The sign systems are invented for cross-cultural communication. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Assertion (A): Assertion A: The sign systems of communication have fixed rules and production procedures.
Reason (R): Reason R: The sign systems are invented for cross-cultural communication.
ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
CA is true but R is false
DA is false but R is true ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) A is false but R is true — The answer is that A is false but R is true.
Explanation
★The answer is that A is false but R is true.
★Sign systems of communication have flexible, not fixed, rules and production procedures, so Assertion A is false.
★Sign systems are indeed invented to aid cross-cultural communication, so Reason R is true.
★So the fixed-rules claim in A does not hold.
★Thus A is false while R is true.
★Their flexibility is what lets meaning be shared across cultures.
★So the answer is that A is false but R is true.
