Academic Reading Practice Question
Question
A supervisor reviews a case with a trainee for the IELTS Academic involving lexical range in Academic Reading. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 99)
Answer choices

- C. The best answer is to choose the answer that best demonstrates accurate academic English comprehension, organization, or language use for the lexical range scenario.
- D. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
Correct Answer
C. The best answer is to choose the answer that best demonstrates accurate academic English comprehension, organization, or language use for the lexical range scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because lexical range is tested by asking candidates to choose the answer that best demonstrates accurate academic English comprehension, organization, or language use. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
