UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and C are correct, while B, D and E are incorrect. A is true because multimedia by definition integrates multiple modes such as text, audio and visuals. C is true as alignment with objectives prevents multimedia from becoming a distraction. B is false since overcrowding slides usually reduces clarity. D is false because learners often need scaffolding to interpret complex visuals, and E is false because teacher–student interaction remains crucial even when multimedia is used. Therefore, A and C only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A selects A and C, accurately capturing the integrative nature of multimedia and the need for alignment with objectives, while excluding faulty views about overloading, unguided interpretation and replacing interaction. Since all included statements are true and all excluded statements are false, this option is correct.

Option B:
Option B adds D to A and C, but D incorrectly claims that learners never need guidance for complex multimedia, which underestimates cognitive load. Including D makes A, C and D only an invalid set of correct statements.

Option C:
Option C combines B and C, but B is wrong because more text does not automatically improve clarity; it often overwhelms learners. Therefore, B and C only cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D groups A, B and C, but again B is false, so A, B and C only mixes accurate and inaccurate claims. This prevents it from being the correct answer.
