UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Physical barriers arise from environmental or structural conditions that obstruct message transmission,such as distance,noise or obstacles. A pillar blocking the board prevents students from seeing visual information. This is an obvious structural problem,so it qualifies as a physical barrier.

Option A:
Semantic barriers involve misunderstandings of word meanings,rather than blocked sight lines.

Option B:
Physical barriers can often be reduced by changing seating arrangements or classroom layout,making this option appropriate.

Option C:
Psychological barriers stem from emotions such as fear or anxiety,not from pillars.

Option D:
Cultural barriers involve differing norms and values,which are not mentioned here.
