Reading Practice Question
Question
A supervisor reviews a case with a trainee for the TOEFL iBT involving inference in Reading. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 203)
Answer choices
- A. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
- B. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
- C. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the inference scenario.
- D. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
Correct Answer
C. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the inference scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because inference 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.
