Reading Practice Question

Question

A professional is deciding the best next action for the TOEFL iBT involving cause and effect in Reading. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 98)

Answer choices

1. A. Escalate only after taking irreversible action without reviewing the facts.
2. B. The best answer is to select the response that best supports accurate academic comprehension, integration, and clear English expression for the cause and effect scenario.
3. C. Treat all similar terms as interchangeable without checking the scenario context.
4. D. Choose an answer that removes accountability from the responsible professional.

Correct Answer

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

Explanation

The correct answer is B because cause and effect 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.
