Select the option that applies to both the Assertion and the Reason. Assertion: The speaker is missing her friends. Reason: The speaker wishes to know the well-being of her friends.

Exercise: Let us think and reflect | Q: I.1.iv | (Page Page 9)

Explanation

The correct answer is B. Both statements are true, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. Shaana is indeed missing her friends (evident from her postcards addressing classmates and friends), and she does ask about their well-being ('How is everyone? Are you missing me yet?'). However, asking about well-being is not the reason for missing friends—it is a separate expression of care. The reason for missing friends would be the emotional connection and shared experiences, not the desire to know about their well-being.
