Question

A candidate is reviewing a practice scenario for the TOEFL iBT involving integrated speaking in Reading. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 210)

Answer choices

1. A. Treat all similar terms as interchangeable without checking the scenario context.
2. B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the integrated speaking scenario.

4. D. Escalate only after taking irreversible action without reviewing the facts.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the integrated speaking scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because integrated speaking 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.
