UGC NET/JRF, June 2013, English Paper III Answer Key

This is not any official key. Neither, it claims validity as few may be wrong too. It’s just an attempt to frame a tentative key as we have observed that the key UGC releases, happens to be without any justification and thus quite questionable. Even after complain hardly it changes. Sometime, they just throw wrong key to validate their questions. So, let’s make an alternative key before UGC releases theirs’.

Initially, I have tried to give it a shape and now it’s over to you all. So, bring out your question paper(s), check with it and if you have any objection(s) with the key given here, please do comment below and it will be updated. So, let’s do it.
