Solution:

Assessment is a part of the teaching-learning process and children are assessed in course of doing the activities. So learning process and assessment go together. It gives the teacher a comprehensive idea of students' strengths and weaknesses in the study domain.The purpose of assessment is to gather relevant information about student performance or progress or to determine student interests to make judgments about their learning process. Diverse modes of assessment and evaluation should be used by a teacher:A teacher should not use only one assessment method rather he should use diverse modes of assessment and evaluation to know about students' progress. Teachers should employ varieties of assessment methods such as oral tests, assignments, performance tests, etc. It will give a clear picture of a child's growth in learning.So, teachers should use a wide variety of assessment tools and techniques to assess children as no single assessment tool is capable of providing information about a childs progress and learning in different areas of development.The purpose of evaluation is to segregate the well-performing students from the rest of the class. Assessment is done to determine the outcomes (what students have learned), process (the way they learned), and their approach to the learning before, during, or after the program or course.Enhancing the teaching-learning process and giving feedback to the teacher about the effectiveness of his/her teaching is the main purpose of evaluation. Evaluation doesn't segregate students rather it provides credible feedback on learning and motivates children to develop an interest in the study. Hence, we can conclude that (A) is true but (R) is false.
