UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C are correct because expectations can shape opportunities and feedback, reflection can address bias and low expectations can undermine confidence. D is false since expectations often influence the frequency and quality of feedback and interaction offered to students. E is false because high expectations in a professional sense involve high support and realistic challenge, not relentless pressure. Hence, A, B and C only is the correct combination.

Option A:
Option A includes A and B but omits C, ignoring the negative impact of low expectations on motivation and effort. As C is also true, A and B only is incomplete.

Option B:
Option B groups A, B and C, recognising effects on opportunities, the need for reflection and the role of expectations in student confidence. It excludes D and E, which misrepresent links between expectations, feedback and pressure, so A, B and C only is correct.

Option C:
Option C lists B, C and D but treats D as true, even though expectations clearly influence feedback and attention. This makes B, C and D only an invalid option.

Option D:
Option D groups A, C and E but includes E, which confuses high support with unrealistic demands. Therefore A, C and E only cannot be accepted.
