Question

A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the TOEFL iBT involving speaker function in Reading. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 28)

Answer choices

2. B. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
3. C. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.

Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the speaker function scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because speaker function 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.
