UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and E are correct, whereas D and F are false. A gives the basic structure of an argument, while B and C clarify how explanations and illustrations function differently from proof. E is right that exam performance improves when one can separate arguments from mere description or example. D is wrong because “because” and “therefore” often signal reasoning, and F is wrong because a lone assertion with no supporting reasons is not an argument. So A, B, C and E only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete since it omits E, which correctly stresses the exam importance of distinguishing arguments from non-arguments. Although A, B and C explain the concepts, without E the practical UGC NET angle is missing. Therefore A, B and C only cannot be accepted.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it brings together conceptual clarity about arguments, explanations and illustrations along with their relevance to exam questions. It avoids D and F, both of which misclassify reasoning signals and unsupported statements. This makes the option fully consistent with reasoning pedagogy.

Option C:
Option C is wrong as it includes D, which incorrectly reclassifies all “because” or “therefore” uses as description, and it omits A, the core definition of an argument. Without A, the option fails to define its central concept. Therefore B, C, D and E only cannot be chosen.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes F, treating unsupported statements as arguments, and it also omits B. This option mischaracterises both explanation and argument and leaves out an important conceptual distinction. As a result, A, C, E and F only is not a valid answer.

Vector graphics rely on mathematical descriptions of shapes rather than fixed pixels. This allows them to be resized to any scale without becoming pixelated. They are commonly used for logos and diagrams in ICT contexts. Therefore, such graphics are called vector graphics.

Option A:
Option A is correct because vector is the standard term for resolution independent graphics based on paths and curves.

Option B:
Option B, bitmap, graphics are made of pixels and lose quality when scaled up, opposite to what the stem describes.

Option C:
Option C, compressed, graphics refers to file size reduction and can apply to many image types, not specifically scalable ones.

Option D:
Option D, animated, graphics focus on motion and can be either vector or bitmap based, so it is not the right descriptor here.
