Reading Practice Question
Question
A student must apply the concept rather than define it only for the TOEFL iBT involving inference in Reading. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 103)
Answer choices
- A. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
- B. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
- 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. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
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.
