Solution:
The morning of July 14, 1789, saw the city of Paris in a state of high alert. The army was to enter the city as per the king's orders. There were rumours that he was going to tell the soldiers to shoot at the citizens. As a result, 7,000 men and women gathered in front of the city hall to form a civilian militia. They looked for guns in a variety of public buildings. Finally, about a hundred demonstrators made their way to the eastern edge of the city and attacked the Bastille, a fortified jail where they hoped to find ammunition that had been hidden. The Bastille commander was killed in the ensuing gunfight, and the prisoners were set free.Hence, both the Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
