Correct Answer: A. Procedural unreasonableness
Solution:Virendra vs. State of Punjab, the Constitutional validity of Section 3 of the Punjab Special Powers (press) Act 1956 was raised.

Section 3 (1) authorized the government to prohibit the entry of a newspaper, leaflet or any publication if it contains matters likely to affect or prejudice maintenance of communal harmony or public order.

The virtual effect of Section 3 was that it completely prohibited the entry or circulation of papers published in New Delhi into the whole of Punjab.

29. Which among the following communicologists usefully distinguished between the paradigms of interaction, which was called the 'extractive' and the 'immersive'?

Correct Answer: B. Peter Lunenfield
Solution:In the early 1990s Peter Lunenfield (1993) usefully distinguished between two paradigms of interaction, which he called the “extractive” and the “immersive”. Hypertextual navigation (above) is ‘extractive’.

However, when we move from seeking to gain access to data and information to navigating representations of space or simulated 3D worlds we move into ‘immersive’ interaction.

In some sense both kinds of interaction rely upon the same technological fact – the existence of a very large database which the user is called upon to experience.

Correct Answer: A. reality effects
Solution:Photorealism in CGI and the hyperrealist imagery and narrative structures of Disney, Pixar and Dream works animated features are all examples of what Jean-Louis Comolli calls ‘reality effects’.

They are understood as, or are claimed to be, in different ways, offering a more realistic experience, a less mediated grasp of the world and experience.

Each of these reality effects references not the actual external world directly, but rather other cinematic and media conventions. Photo-realism is the accurate depiction of photography, not an index of the world.
