Tutorial and mentoring communication – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and E are correct, while C is incorrect. A is true because tutorials typically enable more personalised interaction than large lectures. B is true since mentoring often includes academic and personal guidance. D is true because effective mentoring requires two-way exchange. E is true because trust and respect are fundamental to mentoring relationships. C is false because tutorials are meant to be interactive and should not silence students. Therefore, A, B, D and E only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B, D and E, covering personalisation, broad guidance, two-way interaction and trust, and it excludes C, which incorrectly suggests students should remain silent. Hence, this option is correct.

Option B:
Option B lists A and B only and omits D and E, missing the essential two-way nature and trust-building component of mentoring communication. Therefore, this option is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C includes B, D and E only but omits A, even though tutorial sessions are typically more personalised than large lectures. Hence, this option is incomplete.

Option D:
Option D includes A, D and E only but omits B, ignoring that mentoring often covers academic as well as personal concerns. Therefore, this option is incomplete.
