Q. Assertion : Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses.
Reason : Alcohols and ethers are isomeric in nature

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers because intermolecular H-bonding is present in alcohols and not in ethers.
