Detailed Solution

1)      Both countries indeed have ethical tension, but out of the two, only Belgium could solve the problem by power sharing, and Sri Lanka failed to do that.
2)      In Belgium, the Dutch-speaking majority of people tried to impose their domination on the minority French-speaking community.
3)      In Sri Lanka, the government's policies sought to ensure the dominance of the Sinhala -speaking majority. Sri Lanka Tamils demanded a federal arrangement of power sharing to protect their culture, language and equal opportunity in various fields.
4)      The Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
