Correct Answer :

Option A

(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Solution :

Correct Answer: (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Explanation:
Let us analyze the given statements step-by-step:

  1. Assertion (A): "Accuracy in language is most important at the primary level."
    At the primary level of language learning, the primary focus is on developing fluency, communication skills, expression of ideas, and building a rich vocabulary. Expecting high accuracy in grammar, pronunciation, and spelling at this young age is counterproductive as it can hinder the natural language acquisition process and discourage children from speaking and writing. Therefore, Assertion (A) is false.
  2. Reason (R): "Grammar is an integral part of the primary curriculum."
    Grammar rules and structure are indeed incorporated into the primary language curriculum. However, they are taught contextually, implicitly, and through communicative activities rather than formal, rote memorization of rules. Since grammar instruction is designed as an integral component of the overall primary school curriculum, Reason (R) is true.
Thus, Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
