Multiple choice

Directions: The following items consist of two statements, one labelled as 'Assertion (A)' and the other labelled as 'Reason (R)'. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) are individually true and if so, whether the reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. Select your answer to these items using the codes given below. Assertion (A) : Fjords are the features produced by glacial erosion. Reason (R) : Glaciers descending from coasted mountains may reach the sea and continue their erosion on the seafloor.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

  2. Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A

  3. A is true but R is false.

  4. A is false but R is true.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Both statements are true and correctly linked. Fjords (A) are indeed glacial erosional features - deep, U-shaped valleys flooded by seawater. The reason (R) correctly explains the formation process: glaciers descending coastal mountains continue eroding into the seafloor, creating the characteristic overdeepened basins.
