What can be the angle between velocity and acceleration for the motion on a straight line? Explain with an example.

At any instant,the velocity and acceleration of a particle moving along a straight line are $v$ and $a$. The speed of the particle is increasing if

$A$ particle has a velocity in the negative direction and a constant acceleration in the positive direction. Match the following columns:
Column $I$ Column $II$
