Explanation

Positive feedback from the teacher does motivate students, so the assertion holds true.

Encouragement builds confidence and drives students toward better outcomes.

The reason claims that continuous criticism is the best method, which is false.

Relentless criticism discourages learners rather than helping them realise positive outcomes.

Since a false reason cannot explain a true assertion, the two do not support each other.

Constructive, balanced feedback, not constant criticism, sustains student motivation.
