UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D correctly present opportunities and responsibilities when using social networks in education. They show that such platforms can manage course information, enable scholarly sharing and require explicit communication norms. Statement C is false because most material on social networks is not peer-reviewed; quality varies widely. Hence the combination A, B and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it includes the three true statements about educational uses of social networks while excluding the misleading assurance of universal peer review. It recognises both benefits and the need for guidelines.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it lists only A and B as correct and omits D. Statement D is also important, since guidelines help maintain professionalism, privacy and respect in online spaces. Without D, the set of statements is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups B and D only and leaves out A. Statement A correctly emphasises the value of closed groups for course management. Excluding it gives a partial view of academic use.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes A, C and D as correct statements. Including C wrongly suggests that social media automatically filters for peer-reviewed content, which is not how these platforms operate.
