So this is a tricky question type if you don't 100% understand what the question is really asking. Think of these questions as "the first statement is true, the second statement is false, etc." questions. Only this time, both statements are in a single sentence, and the first statement is named "statement" and the second statement is named "reason".
Everything before the word "because" is the statement, and everything after the word "because" is the reason. So analyze both parts of the question separately as individual statements, unrelated to each other, and see if they're true based on the passage. If you find both the statement and reason are true, then you have to also make an additional step of determining if they're related, this is testing your ability to identify cause and effect.
For example, let's say the question is: "The sky is blue because New York is in the USA." The first part, the statement, is "The sky is blue", and this is a true statement. The second part, the reason, is "New York is in the USA", which is also true. However, these are totally unrelated, the sky is not blue because New York is in the USA, so the answer would be "Both the statement and reason are correct, but unrelated". If the question was "The sky is blue because molecules in the sky scatter the sunlight", then both the statement and reason are true, and they're related, as the reason is directly responsible for the statement.
Lastly, if the question was "The sky is red because molecules in the sky scatter the sunlight", then the statement "The sky is red" is incorrect, but the reason "molecules in the sky scatter the sunlight" is correct, so the answer would be "The statement is NOT correct, but the reason is correct".
