8. Communication in the classroom takes place in which of the following levels?
- Option : B
- Explanation : Classroom communication is centred around a planned unit of instruction in a stipulated period of time which does not leave any scope for opportunism whether for the teacher or the taught. So, opportunistic meaning is not possible. Classroom communication involves lecturing or interactive teaching- learning ideally in a noise-free environment. So, it does not involve noise-level meaning. Students decode or understand the lesson, though in varying degrees; so, it is not non- coded meaning, either. However, since the lesson is time-bound, there is little scope for reflective thinking; hence, the level of meaning is surfacial only.
- Option : D
- Explanation : Anumana or inference Pramana is using observation, previous truths and reason to reach a new conclusion and truth; e.g., if one observes smoke, one can infer that there must be fire. Similarly, the existence of God was logically proved as an anumana or inference of the fruitlessness in the actions of men as the following line from Nyaya Sutra says: isvarah karanam purusakarmaphalyadarsanat which means, God is the cause; because we find fruitlessness in the actions of men.
