UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D describe effective strategies, while C and E are wrong. A is true because connecting content with learners’ daily life enhances relevance and comprehension. B is true as thoughtful questioning encourages engagement and formative assessment of understanding. D is true since asking students to summarise key points consolidates learning. C is false because a monotonous pace and tone usually reduce, rather than increase, attention, and E is false because student feedback is an integral part of effective communication. Thus, the wrong statements are C and E only.

Option A:
Option A, which selects C only, correctly identifies one problematic strategy but fails to recognise that excluding student feedback, as claimed in E, is also wrong. Because both C and E misrepresent effective practice, naming only one of them is incomplete. This makes C only an incorrect choice.

Option B:
Option B chooses E only and overlooks C, even though rigid sameness in pace and tone is also a poor strategy for maintaining attention. Since the question asks for all wrong statements, identifying only E does not satisfy the requirement. Therefore, E only cannot be considered the correct answer.

Option C:
Option C combines B, C and E, but B is actually a correct statement about the value of questioning techniques. By treating B as wrong, this option conflicts with established principles of effective teaching. Consequently, B, C and E only is logically inconsistent and not acceptable.

Option D:
Option D groups C and E, the two statements that contradict effective classroom communication strategies. It keeps A, B and D outside the set of wrong statements, recognising their positive role in making learning meaningful, interactive and memorable. Because it captures exactly the incorrect statements, C and E only is the correct option.
