Detailed Solution

The Assertion is true that there was tension between the Dutch and the French-speaking communities, and the Reason for this tension was an economic disparity. The French were rich and more financially stable than the other linguistic communities like the Dutch.
The second Reason behind it was the lack of a power-sharing model. Lack of power sharing can be defined as every community wanting their supremacy over the country to run or execute it. So the linguistic communities fought to own higher positions in the country. Later this problem was solved by establishing the community government.
Thus, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
