Choose the correct answer from the following code for the assertion and reason given below.
Assertion (A): Formative evaluation tends to accelerate the process of learning.
Reason (R): As against summative evaluation, formative evaluation is highly reliable.
ABoth (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
BBoth (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
C(A) is true, but (R) is false ✓ Correct
D(A) is false, but (R) is true
Correct answer: (C) (A) is true, but (R) is false — The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is that A is true but R is false.
Explanation
★The assertion is true while the reason is false, so the answer is that A is true but R is false.
★Formative evaluation is carried on during learning and gives feedback that speeds learning, so the assertion is true.
★It corrects errors as they arise, so the learner improves faster, confirming the assertion.
★The reason claims formative evaluation is highly reliable compared with summative evaluation, which is not correct.
★Reliability is not the reason formative evaluation accelerates learning; its ongoing feedback is.
★So the assertion holds but the reason is false, giving the answer that A is true but R is false.
