UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and E are correct, whereas D and F are incorrect. Effective teachers listen to words and body language, show empathy, and communicate expectations assertively but respectfully. Paraphrasing students’ answers demonstrates attention and helps verify meaning. Frequent interruptions usually harm rapport, and relying only on closed questions does not promote extended student responses. Therefore the true statements are A, B, C and E.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits E, which correctly highlights the role of paraphrasing in checking understanding. Although A, B and C are accurate, leaving out E makes the description of interpersonal skills incomplete. Thus this option cannot be accepted.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect since it includes D as if it were correct. D suggests that interrupting students improves rapport, which conflicts with principles of respectful interaction. Including D with true statements produces an inconsistent combination.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it brings together A, B, C and E, capturing listening, empathy, clear expression and paraphrasing as core interpersonal skills. It properly excludes D and F, which recommend practices that discourage rich student communication. This combination fully matches the set of correct statements.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it omits A and includes F. A is a key statement about active listening, while F wrongly claims that closed questions are best for extended talk. Mixing a false statement with true ones and ignoring a crucial skill makes this option invalid.
