Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation
In the expression ('x' and 'y' or not 7), both 'x' and 'y' are non-empty string literals, hence they are evaluated as True, and 7 is a non-zero number, also evaluated as True. Therefore, this expression results in 'y'. In Python, when evaluating expressions in a Boolean context, such as conditions in if statements, non-empty strings, non-zero numbers, and non-None values are considered True, while empty strings, numeric zero (0), and None are considered False.
