UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statement B is the only wrong statement because research shows that digital texts do not always produce deeper comprehension than print in every context. Statements A, C and D correctly identify features and possibilities of digital reading devices and platforms. Adjustable displays, annotation tools and analytics are advantages, but comprehension outcomes depend on task, design and learner characteristics. Thus, the option that selects only B as wrong is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it treats both A and B as wrong statements. A is a true description of how digital reading devices can improve readability through adjustable settings. Including this accurate statement among the wrong ones makes the option invalid.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it isolates B as the sole incorrect statement and implicitly accepts the other three as true. It acknowledges that digital reading is not universally superior to print but does offer specific functional advantages. This matches nuanced understandings of ICT in reading.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups B and C as wrong, even though C is true. Annotation and highlighting tools are standard features of many e-readers and reading apps. Mixing a correct statement with the wrong one undermines this combination.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it labels B, C and D as wrong statements. Both C and D accurately describe capabilities of digital reading platforms, such as annotation and analytics. Including them with the false claim in B makes the option incorrect.
