UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Written communication uses written symbols such as letters,emails,notices or reports to convey messages. An email announcing a change in exam date is text based and can be read later by recipients. Hence it falls clearly in the category of written communication.

Option A:
Oral communication would occur if the teacher announced the change verbally in class or over a microphone,which is not described.

Option B:
Non verbal communication uses gestures,facial expressions or posture and does not rely on written words.

Option C:
Written messages create a record that can be referred to again,which is one advantage of the email example given,making option C correct.

Option D:
Mass communication refers to broadcasting messages to very large audiences through media like TV,and is not the main feature highlighted in the stem.

Written communication uses printed or written words to convey messages that can be read later. A notice about assignment dates is prepared in text form and displayed for students. It also serves as a record that can be checked again. Hence it is written communication.

Option A:
Oral communication would occur if the teacher simply announced the dates verbally in class. That is not what the stem describes.

Option B:
Written is the only option that correctly reflects the nature of the notice because the information is provided as printed text that can be read and revisited.

Option C:
Mechanical communication is not a standard label for this form of message transmission.

Option D:
Non verbal communication involves gestures or expressions without words,which is different from a printed notice relying on language.

Written communication involves the use of written or printed words to convey messages that can be read and stored. An official email contains text and provides a permanent record of instructions. It is therefore an example of written communication. The contrast with spoken instructions in the stem supports this classification.

Option A:
Non verbal communication would involve gestures or tone,which are not central to reading an email.

Option B:
Written communication uses text and can be stored and reread; an official email is therefore written communication.

Option C:
Mass communication targets large anonymous audiences and usually involves media organisations,not single official emails in an institution.

Option D:
Intrapersonal communication is internal thinking and cannot describe a message sent to others.
