Option 1 suggests that both the assertion and reason are true and they are related, meaning that the reason accurately explains why the assertion happened. This is not correct, as the reason provided doesn`t appear to be a valid cause for rejecting a Bill for primary education.

Option 2 asserts that both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason doesn`t accurately explain the assertion. This option might be conceivable if both statements were true but unconnected. However, in this case, the reason doesn`t seem plausible.

Option 3 means that the assertion is true whereas the reason is false. This is unsuccessfully explaining the assertion.

The correct answer is option 4 which states that the assertion is false, but the reason is true. This indicates that the first ever Bill to make primary education compulsory in India was not rejected in 1911. However, the statement about discontent increasing if every cultivator could read is presented as true, even though it has no connection with the assertion.

This understanding of the options logically fits the provided answer, so no alert is necessary.
