Question

Identify an example of negative feedback from the following

• A. You can dance better.
• B. Your dance was good but you can do better.
• C. Your dance skill is not really good.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Your dance skill is not really good.

Negative feedback is feedback that focuses on what was wrong or lacking in performance, often in a discouraging or critical tone, without offering constructive suggestions for improvement.

• (C) "Your dance skill is not really good."
  → This is clearly negative feedback. It directly criticizes the learner’s ability without offering encouragement or specific advice for improvement.

Why the others are incorrect:

• (A) "You can dance better."
  → This is constructive and implies potential for improvement, not strictly negative.

• (B) "Your dance was good but you can do better."
  → This is balanced feedback: partly positive, with a gentle suggestion to improve — often called "positive reinforcement with a hint of improvement."

• (D) None of the above
  → Incorrect because (C) is an example of negative feedback.
