UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C and D are correct, whereas B is incorrect. A is true because social media groups can host links, documents and reminders that extend learning outside class time. C is true since guidance on respectful and safe communication is essential for productive online interaction. D is true because issues like privacy settings and data collection must be considered to protect learners. B is false because social media content is not automatically reliable; information quality varies and requires critical evaluation.

Option A:
Option A correctly groups A, C and D, emphasising resource sharing, etiquette guidance and privacy considerations while leaving out the unrealistic claim in B. It reflects a balanced view of social media in academic communication. Therefore A, C and D only is the correct answer.

Option B:
Option B lists A and C only and omits D, forgetting that privacy and data protection are crucial ethical and legal concerns. Although A and C are correct, excluding D makes the answer incomplete. Hence A and C only cannot be accepted.

Option C:
Option C includes C and D only and leaves out A, thereby ignoring the practical use of social media for sharing academic materials. Since A is also correct, C and D only does not represent the complete set of accurate statements. This option is therefore not valid.

Option D:
Option D treats all four statements as correct, but B wrongly asserts that social media automatically ensures high-quality information. Including B with the correct statements mixes truth with error, so A, B, C and D cannot be chosen.
