Assertion-reason questions test logic, not just recall. First, verify if each statement is individually true before linking them – many students lose marks assuming a correct assertion automatically means the reasoning is right. If both are true, then *only* ask if the reason is the *correct explanation* for that specific assertion.
I see this like my father's carpentry: a perfect joint needs both pieces to fit, but also the right glue between them. A beautiful carved leg (true assertion) and strong adhesive (true reason) don't make a chair if they're joined in the wrong place 🌟
So, eliminate options where either statement is factually wrong. If both are correct, then eliminate the option if the connection feels forced or generic – the reason must directly cause the assertion, not just be related.
