- D. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
Correct Answer
B. The best answer is to choose the answer that best demonstrates accurate academic English comprehension, organization, or language use for the number detail scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because number detail 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.
