Simple Sentence Assertion Reason
CMAT 2025 · Language Comprehension · Medium · Grammar
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) : Assertion (A) : The following sentence is an example of a simple sentence : "Without saying a word, Ashraf ran away from home, in great haste." Reason (R): A simple sentence is a sentence which contains a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses, dependent on the main clause.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the the options given below :
- A.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- B.
Both (A) and (R) are true 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
C
Explanation
Assertion A is true (the sentence contains only one finite verb clause 'Ashraf ran away...'). Reason R is false because a sentence with subordinate clauses is a complex sentence, not a simple sentence.
