Let’s check the assertion and the reason and see why they are true or false.
-
Assertion: Democracy increases not only expectations but also complaints -
Democracy is a form of government that gives people the right to participate in decision-making, to express their opinions and to demand accountability from the rulers. Democracy also creates a space for different groups and interests to compete for power and resources. Therefore, democracy increases the expectations of the people from the government and the society. However, democracy does not always fulfill these expectations or satisfy everyone’s needs and aspirations. Sometimes, democracy may also create problems or conflicts that are difficult to resolve. Therefore, democracy also increases the complaints of the people against the government and society. This is
true.
- Reason: Complaining is itself a testimony to the success of democracy - Complaining is a form of expressing dissatisfaction or dissent with the existing situation or system. Complaining shows that people have the freedom to voice their grievances and to seek redressal or change. Complaining also shows that people have the awareness and the confidence to challenge the authorities or the status quo. Therefore, complaining is itself a testimony to the success of democracy, as it reflects the democratic culture and spirit of the people. This is true.
- However, while both the assertion and the reason are true, they are not logically connected. The reason does not explain why democracy increases not only expectations but also complaints . The reason only explains why complaining is a positive sign of democracy. Therefore, the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
Thus,
- Assertion is true.
- Reason is true.
- But the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
So, the correct option is (b) Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
