One-way and two-way communication – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and D are correct, while C and E are wrong. A is true because one-way communication does not provide opportunities for immediate response. B is true as two-way interaction enables learners to seek clarification. D is true since student participation typically increases with interactive dialogue. C is false because lecturing is not always superior to interactive methods, and E is false because two-way communication is widely used in classrooms. Therefore, C and E only are the wrong statements.

Option A:
Option A singles out C only and ignores E, even though the claim that two-way communication is never suitable for classrooms is clearly incorrect. Because both C and E misrepresent teaching practice, C only is incomplete and cannot be accepted.

Option B:
Option B selects E only and leaves out C, despite the fact that insisting on the universal superiority of lecturing is also wrong. Thus, E only does not identify all the wrong statements in the set.

Option C:
Option C correctly groups C and E, recognising that they both contradict established views on interactive teaching and communication. It keeps A, B and D as true descriptions of feedback and participation. Hence, C and E only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D includes A, C and E, but A is a true definition of one-way communication. Classifying A as wrong leads to inconsistency, so A, C and E only is not valid.
