UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C and D are correct because large classes demand planned activities, use of interactive tools like questioning and polling, and adaptation of group work and peer instruction. B is false since interaction can be built into large-class teaching through structured techniques. E is false because, although monitoring is challenging, it is not completely impossible with thoughtful strategies. Hence, A, C and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A, C and D, which together show planning, interactive strategies and peer-based learning in large classes while excluding incorrect pessimistic views. Therefore, it is the correct answer.

Option B:
Option B lists A and C but omits D, overlooking the potential of group work and peer instruction in large groups. Because D is also true, A and C only is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C contains C and D but leaves out A, failing to recognise the foundational role of advance planning in large-class management. Thus C and D only cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D adds B to an otherwise correct set, but B wrongly states that no interaction can be planned in large classes. Including B makes A, B, C and D only an invalid option.

Statements A, B and D are correct descriptions of learner participation techniques. A is true because brainstorming postpones judgement to enable free flow of ideas. B is true as think–pair–share structures participation from individual reflection to peer talk and whole-class sharing. D is true since role play allows students to experience different viewpoints through enactment. C is false because participation strategies benefit learners across ability levels, and E is false because equitable participation requires involving many students, not just a vocal minority; therefore A, B and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A combines A, B and D, accurately presenting brainstorming, think–pair–share and role play as participatory methods. It properly excludes C and E, which restrict participation to a few students or a narrow ability group, so this option is correct.

Option B:
Option B lists A and B but omits D, ignoring the role of role play in encouraging empathy and perspective-taking. Without D, the description of participation techniques is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C brings in B and D but leaves out A, underestimating the contribution of brainstorming as a widely used participation strategy. This omission means B and D only cannot be the full set of correct statements.

Option D:
Option D includes A, C and D but adds C, which wrongly limits the usefulness of participation techniques. Accepting C makes this combination logically unsound.

Option E extends A, B and D with C, again accepting the incorrect claim that such techniques are only for high-ability students. Because it mixes true and false statements, A, B, C and D only is not a valid answer.
