Communication for large lectures – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D are correct, while C and E are wrong. A is true because amplification and visuals help ensure that all students can see and hear. B is true as questions and polls promote active processing. D is true since short breaks or activities help manage attention span. C is false because feedback can be obtained through show of hands, clickers or questions, and E is false because signposting is crucial to guide listeners in large settings. Hence, C and E only are the wrong statements.

Option A:
Option A selects C only and ignores E, even though dismissing signposting undermines clarity in large lectures. As both C and E misrepresent effective large-group strategies, identifying only C as wrong makes this option incomplete.

Option B:
Option B groups C and E, correctly recognising that claiming feedback is impossible and signposting unnecessary both contradict best practices. It allows A, B and D to stand as sound advice for large classes, so C and E only is the correct combination.

Option C:
Option C lists E only and overlooks the erroneous idea in C that feedback is impossible in large classes. Therefore, E only does not represent all the wrong statements and cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D brings together B, C and E as wrong, but B is actually a correct statement highlighting engagement techniques. Including B among wrong statements makes B, C and E only invalid.
