Assertion (A): A proper name has only denotation but no connotation.
Reason (R): Intension refers to set of adjectives; Extension refers to set of substantives.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
· A is true because proper names (such as "John" or "Delhi") typically have denotation (they refer to specific objects or individuals) but no connotation (they don’t imply any attributes about the object they refer to). In other words, a proper name simply identifies something without describing its properties or characteristics.
· R is also true and explains A because intension refers to the set of qualities or attributes (often expressed through adjectives) that a term connotes, while extension refers to the actual objects or instances (substantives) the term denotes. Proper names like "John" or "Delhi" have an extension (the people or places they refer to) but no intension (since they do not describe the qualities of those people or places).
Information Booster: 1. Denotation refers to the actual object or entity that a term refers to.
2. Connotation refers to the qualities or characteristics implied by the term.
3. Intension deals with the internal content or attributes of a term, usually described by adjectives.
4. Extension refers to the actual set of things the term applies to, which are substantives or concrete objects.
5. Proper names, such as personal names or place names, typically have denotation (they refer to specific entities) but lack connotation (they don't describe characteristics).
Additional knowledge: · Intension and extension are key concepts in semantics and philosophy of language, where they help explain how terms refer to objects and concepts.
· Proper names (e.g., "John") are an example of terms that have denotation but do not describe any specific qualities of the referent.
