Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | Slash-and-char is an alternative to slash-and-burn that has a lesser effect on the environment. |
Reason (R): | It is the practice of charring the biomass resulting from the slashing, instead of burning it. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | Episodic shifts in winds and water currents across the equatorial Pacific can cause floods in the South American desert while stalling and drying up the monsoon in Indonesia and India. |
Reason (R): | During an El Niño event, the surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean become significantly colder than usual. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | Wetlands are the largest natural source of atmospheric methane in the world, and therefore remain a major area of concern with respect to climate change. |
Reason (R): | Wetlands are characterized by water-logged soils and distinctive communities of organisms that have evolved and adapted to the constant presence of water. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | Ecological sanitation is a practical, hygienic, efficient, and cost-effective solution to human waste disposal. |
Reason (R): | Ecological sanitation systems are systems that allow for the safe recycling of nutrients to crop production in such a way that the use of non-renewable resources is minimized. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): | The presence of Tubifex in a water sample is a good indicator of high quality [non-polluted] of the water sample. |
Reason (R): | Tubifex is a nematode that cannot survive in water with low dissolved oxygen content. |
