UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D are correct descriptions of classroom communication, whereas C and E are incorrect. A is true because typical classroom interaction involves one teacher addressing many students. B is true since effective communication in class should invite questions and feedback from learners. D is true because student–student interaction during group tasks is also part of classroom communication. C is false because non-verbal signals from both teacher and students significantly affect meaning, and E is false because classroom climate strongly influences communication patterns; therefore A, B and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A and B but omits D, thereby ignoring the important role of student–student interaction in group activities. Since classroom communication also occurs among students, leaving out D makes this combination incomplete. Consequently, A and B only cannot represent all correct statements.

Option B:
Option B lists B and D but leaves out A, and thus fails to acknowledge the predominant one-to-many pattern between teacher and class. Without recognising this structural feature, B and D only does not fully capture classroom communication. It also still correctly excludes C and E, but incompleteness means it is not the best answer.

Option C:
Option C groups A, B, C and D, but C is incorrect because it denies the relevance of non-verbal signals in the classroom. Including this false view alongside correct statements makes the combination invalid. Any answer set that treats C as true misrepresents how classroom communication actually works.

Option D:
Option D brings together A, B and D, which collectively describe one-to-many patterns, encouragement of feedback and student–student interaction. It excludes C and E, both of which downplay crucial elements such as non-verbal cues and classroom climate. Since it contains all and only the true statements, A, B and D only is the correct answer.

Statements A, B, D and F appropriately characterise effective teacher communication. A is true because articulation and pacing help learners process spoken messages. B is true since listening completes the communication loop. D is true as non-verbal cues like facial expressions and posture signal learner states, and F is true because adapting explanations based on feedback improves clarity. C and E are false because complex jargon can hinder understanding and communication is not purely one-way; therefore A, B, D and F only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A, B and D but omits F, and thus misses the dynamic aspect of altering communication in response to learner feedback. Since F is also correct, A, B and D only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B combines A, B, D and F, bringing together verbal clarity, listening, attention to non-verbal cues and adaptive communication. It excludes C and E, which promote unnecessary complexity and one-way flow, so A, B, D and F only is the correct option.

Option C:
Option C includes E, which denies the importance of student-to-teacher communication, even though questioning and feedback are central. Because of this false statement, B, D, E and F only cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D incorporates C, which encourages complex jargon as a requirement, disregarding learners’ comprehension. This makes A, C, D and F only an invalid combination, even though some statements are true.
