Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Tests cannot capture every aspect of a student's abilities because they represent only a sample of performance, not the whole. Therefore, R correctly explains why A is true.
