NET English Paper 3 June 2014 Q.64

64. Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Spivak sees the project of colonialism as characterized by what Foucault had called ‘epistemic violence’, the imposition of a given set of beliefs over another.
Reason (R) : Spivak suggests that participation in the political process – access to citizenship, becoming a voter – will help to mobilize the subaltern on “the long road to hegemony.”
In the context of the two statements, which one of the following is correct :

1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
