Understanding the Assertion and Reason
The assertion (A) states that people are scared of snakes and often kill them upon sight. The reason (R) claims that all snakes are poisonous and can kill a person by injecting venom.
Analysis of the Assertion (A)
- Fear of Snakes: It is a well-documented fact that many people have a fear of snakes, known as ophidiophobia. This fear can lead to panic and defensive actions, including killing a snake.
- Killing Behavior: The instinct to kill snakes upon sight is often a reaction to fear and perceived danger. However, not everyone reacts this way; many individuals choose to avoid or relocate snakes instead.
Analysis of the Reason (R)
- Poisonous Snakes: The statement that all snakes are poisonous is inaccurate. While some snakes possess venom that can be harmful or lethal to humans, the majority of snake species are non-venomous and pose no significant threat.
- Diversity of Snakes: There are over 3,000 species of snakes, and only about 600 are considered venomous. This highlights the inaccuracy of (R).
Conclusion
- Truth of (A): The assertion that people are scared of snakes and may kill them is true, reflecting a common emotional response.
- Falsehood of (R): The reason provided is false because it generalizes all snakes as poisonous, which is misleading.
Final Answer
- Therefore, the correct option is (C): (A) is true, but (R) is false. This distinction is crucial for understanding the relationship between the fear of snakes and the misconceptions about their danger.
