Assertion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The key challenge is identifying:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether Assertion is true or false.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether Reason is true or false.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight:

Reason Independently<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first and most important step is to evaluate both statements separately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is the Assertion true or false?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight:

example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Assertion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Research hypothesis cannot be directly verified.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reason:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Null
