Design of written study materials – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D are correct, while C and E are incorrect. A is true because headings provide a roadmap through the material. B is true since readable sentence and paragraph lengths support comprehension. D is true as summaries consolidate learning and assist later revision. C is false because excessively small fonts hinder reading, and E is false because well-designed diagrams and tables can clarify complex information. Hence, A, B and D only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A and B but omits D, overlooking the value of summaries or key-point lists for revision. As this is an important feature of effective study materials, A and B only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B brings together A, B and D, describing structural guidance, readability and consolidation while excluding C and E, which promote unreadable or purely textual materials. Because it contains all and only the true statements, this option is correct.

Option C:
Option C groups B, C and D, but C incorrectly suggests that small fonts are always better, which conflicts with legibility principles. Including C makes B, C and D only an invalid selection.

Option D:
Option D combines A, C and D, but again C is wrong, and so this option mixes true and false statements. Therefore, A, C and D only cannot be accepted.
