2.

Determine the corrections or otherwise of the following assertion [A] and reason [R]:
Assertion [A]: Fuel consumption is more for low level, high speed flight mission.

C. Both [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct reason for [A]
D. [A] is true but [R] is false
E. [A] is false but [R] is true
Answer» B. Both [A] and [R] are true and [R] is the correct reason for [A]
