Question

A candidate is reviewing a practice scenario for the TOEFL iBT involving sentence simplification in Academic Skills. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 206)

Answer choices

1. A. Choose an answer that removes accountability from the responsible professional.
2. B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the sentence simplification scenario.

4. D. Treat all similar terms as interchangeable without checking the scenario context.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the sentence simplification scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because sentence simplification is tested by asking candidates to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
