UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C and D are correct, whereas B is incorrect. A is true because television can show laboratory experiments, field situations or animations that are difficult to arrange in ordinary classrooms. C is true since radio can deliver lessons to geographically remote learners who lack regular access to teachers. D is true because learners need critical media literacy to evaluate the quality and bias of messages. B is false because mass media usually provide limited, indirect or delayed feedback rather than immediate personalised responses from each learner.

Option A:
Option A correctly gathers A, C and D, presenting a balanced view of how media supplement classroom work and why critical viewing is needed. It rejects B, which exaggerates feedback possibilities in mass communication. As it includes all and only the accurate statements, A, C and D only is the correct answer.

Option B:
Option B lists A and C only and omits D, failing to acknowledge the crucial role of critical viewing skills in educational media use. Although A and C are correct, leaving out D makes the description incomplete. Therefore A and C only cannot be accepted.

Option C:
Option C combines C and D, leaving out A and thus ignoring the valuable contribution of television demonstrations. Since A is also a correct statement, C and D only does not contain the full set of correct statements. This option is therefore not valid.

Option D:
Option D treats A, B, C and D as all correct, but B wrongly claims that mass media always allow immediate personalised feedback. Including this false assertion alongside the true statements makes the whole combination unacceptable.
