UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, C and D are correct, while B is incorrect. A is true because facilitators encourage learners to ask questions and share ideas. C is true as facilitators design tasks that require learners to interact with one another rather than remain passive. D is true because active listening to students’ contributions is central to facilitative teaching. B is false since a facilitator does not aim to control all talk in the classroom; instead, they guide and structure participation.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes A and C but not D. While it acknowledges encouragement of questions and interactive tasks, it omits the equally important element of active listening to students’ contributions. Since D is also a correct statement, A and C only does not represent the complete set of correct statements.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups C and D only, leaving out A. By excluding A, it ignores the facilitative role of inviting learners to raise questions and share ideas. Therefore, C and D only is an incomplete description of the facilitator’s communicative role.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it brings together A, C and D, the three statements that accurately describe teacher facilitation of classroom communication. It captures encouragement of learner voice, design of interactive tasks and active listening by the teacher. It also implicitly rejects B, which equates facilitation with strict control of all classroom talk. Hence this combination matches all the true statements in the list.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats A, B, C and D as correct statements. Including B is problematic as it presents an authoritarian view contrary to the facilitator role. Since it mixes one false statement with three true ones, this option cannot be accepted.
