Model Answer
Answer: A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. The girl from a rich urban family seeks equal freedom as her brother, which is her developmental goal shaped by her life situation and aspirations — exactly what R states.
Source: Chapter 1, What Development Promises — Different People, Different Goals
Explanation
- The textbook table directly states the girl from a rich urban family wants "as much freedom as her brother and is able to decide what she wants to do in life" — confirming A is true.
- The passage explicitly states different persons seek different things based on "what is most important for them, i.e., that which can fulfil their aspirations or desires" — confirming R is true and it directly explains why the girl has this specific goal.
- R is not merely an additional fact; it explains A, so option A is correct, not B.
