Detailed Solution

While both assertion and reason are valid, the assertion cannot be adequately explained by reason alone. While the assertion normally refers to Scotland's suffering as a direct result of the drawn-out procedure, the precise event speaks to Britain's social union. Their distinctive culture and political structures were ruthlessly repressed. The persuasive argument, however, references how Irishmen suffered at the hands of contemporary Englishmen since Ireland remained an autonomous country that was deeply divided between devoted Catholics and devoted Protestants.
Although the majority of the population was Catholic, the Protestants were universally backed in their efforts to put down Catholic uprisings in the kingdom. Political institutions and Scotland's unique culture were systematically undermined. The Scottish Highlanders were forcibly expelled from their homeland and were not allowed to use their own tongue or dress in Gaelic.
Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
