Reading Practice Question

Question

A scenario includes a common misconception for the TOEFL iBT involving inference in Reading. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 63)

Answer choices

1. A. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
2. B. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
3. C. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the inference scenario.
4. D. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.

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.
