Reading Practice Question

Question

A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the TOEFL iBT involving paraphrase in Reading. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 154)

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 paraphrase scenario.
3. C. Escalate only after taking irreversible action without reviewing the facts.
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 paraphrase scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because paraphrase 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.
