Question

According to the passage, which of the following is not a category of decoding under which group discussion was analyzed?

• A. Resistance
• B. Dominant
• C. Negotiated
• D. Oppositional

Hint:

Recall the three listed decoding categories.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the question.
The question asks which option is not one of the decoding categories used by Morley.

Step 2: Recall what the passage says.
The passage lists three categories for the group discussions: dominant, negotiated and oppositional. Any option outside this list is the answer.

Step 3: Check option 1, Resistance.
Resistance is not in the list of three categories. The passage uses the word oppositional instead. So this is the one that is not a category, and it is right. So option 1 is right.

Step 4: Check option 2, Dominant.
Dominant is the first of the three listed categories, so it is a category and cannot be the answer. So option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3, Negotiated.
Negotiated is the second listed category, so it is a category and cannot be the answer. So option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4, Oppositional.
Oppositional is the third listed category, so it is a category and cannot be the answer. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
Resistance is the only term that is absent from the passage list, so the answer is option 1. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
