BBoth (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C(A) is true, but (R) is false
D(A) is false, but (R) is true
Correct answer: (A) Both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) — Both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is that R correctly explains A.
Explanation
★Both statements are correct and the reason explains the assertion, so the answer is that R correctly explains A.
★Emotionally intelligent children are indeed found to be good at problem solving, so the assertion is true.
★Emotional intelligence is the capacity to integrate and manage one's emotions, so the reason is true.
★Because a child who can manage emotions stays calm and clear-headed, he can reason through problems better.
★Thus the ability described in the reason is the very cause of the good problem solving stated in the assertion.
★Hence both are correct and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
