Statement 2: Limited access to quality education and high dropout rates contribute to lower average years of schooling in Pakistan.

Option 2: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Option 3: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Option 4: Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Solution : The correct answer is (b) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, but Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1. Statement 1 is true. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Pakistan generally had a higher death rate compared to China. The death rate refers to the number of deaths per 1,000 population.
Statement 2 is also true. Limited access to quality education and high dropout rates can contribute to lower average years of schooling in Pakistan. Factors such as inadequate infrastructure, socio-economic disparities, cultural norms, and security challenges can hinder educational opportunities and outcomes, leading to limited access to quality education and higher dropout rates in Pakistan.However, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for the higher death rate in Pakistan compared to China. The higher death rate in Pakistan may be influenced by various factors such as healthcare access, disease prevalence, healthcare infrastructure, socio-economic conditions, and public health interventions. The difference in death rates between the two countries cannot be solely explained by limited access to quality education and high dropout rates in Pakistan.
Therefore, while both statements are true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
