Explanation
S1 says mastery of any art needs years of dedication and perseverance; S2's 10,000-hour rule is a concrete expression of the same idea — prolonged committed practice. S2 is entirely in line with S1, not marginally consistent and not the only possible explanation. 'Fully consistent with the first' is correct.
