Give reasons:
Acetylation of aniline reduces its activation effect.

Acetylation of aniline reduces its activation effect Because it result in decrease of electron density on nitrogen. Due to the resonance, the electron pair of nitrogen atom gets delocalised towards carbonyl group therefore so activation effect reduces.
