Core features of effective communication – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D are correct, whereas C and E are wrong. A is true because clear and logically organised messages are more easily understood. B is true since teachers must adapt language and examples to learners’ level. D is true as feedback and interaction help confirm understanding. C is false because using needlessly complex vocabulary often hinders clarity, and E is false because voice, tone and non-verbal cues strongly affect how messages are received. Therefore, the wrong statements are C and E only.

Option A:
Option A identifies C only as wrong and ignores E, even though dismissing “how” the message is conveyed contradicts established principles. Since both C and E misrepresent effective communication, listing only C fails to include all wrong statements and is thus incomplete. This option cannot be the correct answer.

Option B:
Option B chooses C and E together, capturing the fact that complexity for its own sake and disregard of delivery style both undermine effectiveness. It keeps A, B and D as true indicators of clarity, audience consideration and feedback. Because it correctly isolates the two incorrect statements and leaves the accurate ones untouched, C and E only is the right option.

Option C:
Option C labels E only as wrong and overlooks the serious problem with C’s claim that complex vocabulary always improves communication. By neglecting C, this option misses one of the key misconceptions the question is testing, so E only cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D groups C and D, but D is a correct statement emphasising the importance of feedback and interaction. Treating D as wrong contradicts sound communication theory. As a result, C and D only is an invalid combination.
