Explanation
The chapter explicitly states that writing 'becomes a possession that can be treasured and re-read over the years, with great, abiding pleasure,' making Assertion (A) true. However, the Reason (R) is false because the text states that 'speaking on the telephone only gives us an immediate but fleeting joy'—not long-lasting joy. The telephone provides momentary pleasure, while written words provide enduring joy.
