UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The regulative function of communication is used to control or direct behaviour according to norms or rules. When a teacher explains classroom policies on punctuality and assignments,they are guiding what students should or should not do. This is a clear example of regulative communication.

Option A:
Regulative messages tell learners about expectations and consequences,helping maintain order,which aligns with the situation in the stem,making option A correct.

Option B:
Entertaining communication aims to amuse the audience and does not primarily focus on rule setting.

Option C:
Inspirational messages motivate and encourage,but may not specify concrete rules,so they are not the main type here.

Option D:
Exploratory communication seeks new information or ideas and is different from establishing discipline guidelines.
