UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E describe important functions of feedback. A is true because feedback indicates how far learners are from desired standards. B is true since teachers use feedback to refine methods, D is true because prompt, considerate feedback is more usable, and E is true as peer and self-assessment supplement teacher feedback. C is false because task-focused comments are more constructive than personal remarks, and F is false since clarifying feedback can help learners act on it better. Therefore A, B, D and E only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes all four true statements about feedback’s role for both learners and teachers, and it omits C and F, which either personalise comments or forbid clarification. This makes A, B, D and E only the correct option.

Option B:
Option B drops E and hence ignores the contribution of peer and self-feedback, focusing only on teacher-driven processes. Because E is also correct, A, B and D only is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C wrongly incorporates F, supporting the idea that feedback should never be revisited, which contradicts iterative learning. Thus B, D, E and F only mixes true and false claims and cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D includes C, which promotes personal rather than task-oriented feedback, and therefore A, C, D and E only contains a false statement that undermines good feedback practice.
