UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and F are correct because they describe lower-order and higher-order questions, the value of varied levels and the diagnostic role of probing. A is true as recall and basic understanding are tested by lower-level questions. B is true since analysis and evaluation represent higher levels, C is true because blending levels deepens learning, and F is true as probing uncovers reasoning. D is false because limiting answers to a few able students restricts participation, and E is false because encouraging student questions is vital; hence A, B, C and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B and C but omits F, ignoring the important function of probing questions in revealing learners’ thinking. Since F is also correct, A, B and C only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B brings together B, C and F but leaves out A, failing to explain how lower-order questions fit into the overall questioning strategy. Without A, B, C and F only does not provide a full picture.

Option C:
Option C links A, C and F but omits B, leaving out explicit reference to higher-order thinking. As higher levels are central to the question, A, C and F only cannot be accepted as the best answer.

Option D:
Option D combines A, B, C and F, presenting a comprehensive set of true statements about different levels and the diagnostic use of probing. It excludes D and E, which limit participation and discourage student questions, so this is the correct option.
