The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Beer and wine are called soft liquors while gin, rum, etc., are hard liquors." - **Explanation**: This means that there is a classification of alcoholic beverages based on their production methods and alcohol content. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason given is "Beer and wine are made without distillation." - **Explanation**: This indicates that the production process for beer and wine does not involve distillation, which is a key factor in differentiating between soft and hard liquors. 3. **Distinction Between Soft and Hard Liquors**: - **Soft Liquors**: These are beverages like beer and wine that are produced through fermentation alone. They have a lower alcohol content because they are not subjected to distillation. - **Hard Liquors**: These include spirits like gin and rum, which are produced through fermentation followed by distillation. Distillation increases the alcohol concentration, resulting in a higher ethanol content. 4. **Evaluating the Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because it correctly classifies beer and wine as soft liquors and gin and rum as hard liquors. - The reason is also true because it accurately describes the production process of beer and wine as being without distillation. 5. **Conclusion**: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
